Is It Advisable To Close The ASD Through Transcatheder Amplatzer Occluder In A 2 Year Old?

My 2-year-old daughter had total repair of Tetralogy of Fallot at six-months-of-age. Now she has a 4 to 6mm ASD and moderate Pulmonary regurgitation. Would it be your decision to close the ASD via Transcatheder Amplatzer Occluder soon......or wait til if/when she has PVR?

I am not a cardiologist, but I do know that ASDs can sometimes be left alone unless they are symptomatic.
