Adam Malik hospital Medan from March 2021 to December 2021 and assessed the quality of life of the subject before and after transcatheter closure of defect. Result: Quality of life 36 subjects were assessed before and after transcatheter closure of defect. All components of quality of life showed a significant difference between before and after transcatheter closure of defect (p<0.05). After transcatheter closure of ASD only two people (5.6%) still showed impaired quality of life. By using the Spearman correlation test, it was shown that the quality of life with the domain of school function had a significant correlation with the size of the septal defect diameter (p=0.006). The correlation value (r) obtained is -0.446, but not with other function domains. There is a strong correlation between the age of septal defect closure and quality of life.
