Abstract :
Background: Congenital heart disease (CHD) remains one of the most common congenital defects in pediatrics, affecting 8 to 10 of 1000 live births. Early detection of CHDs is essential, however, data regarding CHDs and their interventions are limited, particularly in Eastern Indonesia.
Aims and Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the profile of children with CHDs who underwent transcatheter closure procedures at Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Manado Hospital.
Materials and Methods: We conducted the retrospective study at Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Manado Hospital from January 2020 through June 2022. Medical records were reviewed to obtain baseline characteristics including age, gender, nutritional status, economic status, and type of CHDs and the interventions, which were further categorized by each characteristic.
Results: We included a total of 50 children with CHDs with a history of transcatheter closure at Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Manado Hospital from January 2020 to June 2022. The baseline characteristics showed a higher number of females compared to males (56% vs 44%) with the age under 5 years old as the predominant age group. We found that transcatheter closure for atrial septal defect (ASD), ventricular septal defect (VSD), and patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) were the most common interventions, and no complications were noted.
Conclusion: The majority of pediatric patients in Eastern Indonesia had acyanotic CHDs, with ASD being the most frequent. No immediate complications after interventions were noted, with ASD closure as the most prevalent procedure conducted.
