Experimental atrial septal defect closure with a new, transcatheter, self-centering device.
BACKGROUND Despite two decades of research, a transcatheter atrial septal defect closure device is not available for clinical use. We have designed a new superelastic Nitinol-Dacron, double-disk, self-centering, atrial septal defect closure device and studied its efficacy in a canine model of atrial septal defects. METHODS AND RESULTS Atrial septal defects were created surgically in 20 adult ...
متن کاملtranscatheter atrial septal defect closure using occlutech figulla device: a two-center experience
background: despite several reports regarding the use of the occlutech figulla® flex septal occluder (offso) in adults, there are few reports on its use in children. we sought to study the result of the transcatheter closure of atrial septal defect (asd) using the offso in children ≤ 12 years. methods: w e enrolled 45 consecutive patients, ranging from 2.5 to 12 years of age, in two large pedia...
متن کامل[Transcatheter closure of atrial septal defect].
Isolated secundum atrial septal defect is one of the most common congenital heart defects. Surgical closure is the treatment of choice but is associated with a chest scar, some morbidity and a relatively long recovery and the use of cardiopulmonary bypass. Transcatheter closure of secundum atrial septal defect is therefore an attractive approach. 3 children, aged 5-10 years, underwent successfu...
متن کاملRight atrial ball thrombus associated with atrial septal occluder device: A late complication of transcatheter atrial septal defect closure
In a large autopsy study, intracardiac ball thrombi are usually seen in the left atrium and rarely seen in the right atrium. They may be one or more in number. Right atrial ball thrombus may appear as a complication of central venous catheterization or be coexistent with tricuspid stenosis. A 42-year-old woman who began routine hemodialysis 5 years ago due to chronic kidney disease was admitted...
متن کاملComplications in atrial septal defect device closure.
Atrial septal defect (ASD) is a common congenital cardiac anomaly. Even though surgery is the gold standard, percutaneous device closure is gaining popularity because of the short learning curve, cosmetic advantage and relative safety. The long-term implications are open to question. We report here two cases where surgical intervention was required during attempted percutaneous closure and brie...
