Large Ostium Secundum ASD Occlusion with Memopart ASD Occluder

Importance of anatomic variations in secundum ASD: residual ASD detected on postoperative 31st year

Results He was taken to operation, pericardium was very adherent and epicardium was cleaned with gentle dissection. Inferior vena cava cannulation was performed and the cannula was misguided to left atrium transseptally, it was detected by the help of blood color and cannula was redirected to IVC by special stretching manuevre. Under total cardiopulmonary bypass fossa ovalis type secundum ASD w...

Percutaneous implantation of an ASD occluder with intracardiac ultrasound

'Crochetage' sign on ECG in secundum ASD: clinical significance.

To cite: Bhattacharyya PJ. BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/ bcr-2016-217817 DESCRIPTION A 50-year-old woman with no cardiovascular risk factors was evaluated for easy fatigability and progressive dyspnoea on exertion for the last 1 year. Cardiac auscultation revealed a normal first heart sound, an ejection systolic murmur at the upper left sternal bord...

An update on ASD occlusion devices

A trial septal defects (ASDs) are one of the most common congenital heart defects, with a prevalence estimated to affect 100 of 100,000 live births.1 ASDs are classified according to location, the most frequent being secundum ASD (75%–80%), primum ASD (15%–20%), sinus venosus (5%–10%), and the less common defect, coronary sinus (< 1%). These defects frequently result in left-to-right shunting. ...

Successful percutaneous closure of a residual atrial septal defect due to device failure.

A 39-year-old woman underwent uneventful percutaneous occlusion of an ostium secundum atrial septal defect (ASD) with a 22 mm Ultrasept ASD Occluder®. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) performed two years after implantation revealed a de novo residual left-to-right shunt through the correctly implanted device. Three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (3D TEE) further clarified th...
