Abstract
The mechanisms and causes of the development of residual shunts after closure of atrial septal defects were studied on the basis of the analysis of the results of 17 reoperations for this complication. It was established that errors of surgical correction were the most frequent causes of residual shunts: an attempt to close large defects with sutures, use of a graft smaller than the size of the defect, concomitant anomalies which caused the reshunting, and incomplete correction of the defect.
