Percutaneous PFO closure with Amplatzer PFO occluder: predictors of residual shunts at 6 months follow-up.
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to assess predictors of residual shunts after percutaneous patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure with Amplatzer PFO occluder (AGA Medical Corporation, Golden Valley, MN, USA). METHODS All percutaneous PFO closures, using Amplatzer PFO occluder performed at a tertiary center between May 2002 and August 2006, were reviewed. Follow-up, including saline cont...
متن کاملPFO Closure: CLOSURE.
T he optimal secondary prevention strategy in patients presenting with a cryptogenic stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) and a patent foramen ovale (PFO) is uncertain. In the United States, closure of a PFO using a percutaneous transcatheter device is currently considered investigational by the Food and Drug Administration. Nonetheless, many patients in this setting are treated off-label ...
متن کاملPercutaneous PFO closure, further data but many unanswered questions.
The pace of technological development in interventional congenital cardiology over the last two decades has been fast and relentless. Successful and reliable closure of secundum atrial septal defects in the catheter laboratory translated to interest in the use of similar devices for the occlusion of the patent foramen ovale (PFO), a common remnant of the fetal circulation. The pathological pote...
متن کاملLong-term follow-up after percutaneous closure of patent foramen ovale with Amplatzer PFO Occluder: a single center experience.
INTRODUCTION Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is associated with the occurrence of cryptogenic strokes, transient neurological ischemic attacks (TIA) and migraine. Therefore despite the recent ambiguous results of prospective controlled trials, percutaneous closure of PFO is still performed in many centers. AIM To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of percutaneous PFO closure in the prevention o...
متن کاملPercutaneous Punctured Transcatheter Device Closure of Residual Shunt after Ventricular Septal Defect Repair
Ventricular septal defects (VSDs) are estimated to account for 20 to 30% of all congenital heart defects (CHDs). Although a residual shunt is the most common complication of VSD surgery, a second operation that applies the surgical repair method is very difficult because it can increase the possibility of uncontrolled bleeding and the severity of tissue adhesion. Here, we present the first case...
