Abstract
Atrial septal defect (ASD) is the leading congenital heart disease(CHD) in adults and its prevalence is increasing. Secundum ASD is the most common type of ASD, and it results in different complications if left untreated. Surgery has been the only option to close ASD for several decades. Transcatheter ASD device closure has revolutionized and replaced surgery due to its lower complication rate, avoidance of cardiopulmonary bypass, lower comorbidity, lower cost, avoidance of sternotomy scar and shorter hospital stay. But the efficacy and safety of this noninvasive procedure is not well known in East Africa, including Ethiopia. Therefore, the aim of the study is to assess the success rate and its predictors of transcatheter ASD device closure in Ethiopia
