Atrial fibrillation following transcatheter atrial septal defect closure: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Conclusions
The incidence of new-onset AFi/AFl is relatively low following transcatheter closure of secundum ASDs. The rate of de novo AFi/AFl, however, was significantly higher in elderly patients. Shorter follow-up time was associated with a higher reported incidence of AFi/AFl.
