[Percutaneous closure of large atrial septal defects].
BACKGROUND Percutaneous occlusion of secundum type atrial septal defect with an Amplatzer device is an effective treatment alternative. However, there is little information about the use of this treatment for large defects. PATIENTS AND METHOD We retrospectively analyzed the initial and follow-up findings in 31 patients aged 41 18 years who had large atrial septal defects (>= 30 mm diameter)....
متن کاملIntegrated Percutaneous Atrial Septal Defect Occlusion and Pulmonary Balloon Valvuloplasty
Introduction: Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) is one of the most common congenital heart diseases during childhood. Today, ASD closure is done by occlutech device via cardiac catheterization. ASD repair with transcatheter technique has shown high closure rate. However, coexistence of severe pulmonary stenosis and large defect in atrial septum is rare. When these two problems coexist, the result is i...
متن کاملAtrial Septal Defect Closure in Geriatric Patients

Similarly, the number of geriatric patients with congenital heart disease, such older than 70 years old, is also rising. Furthermore, mortality rates in congenital heart disease have shifted away from the young and towards adults, with a steady increase in age at death. Actually, the mortality of con...
متن کاملCurrent perspectives in percutaneous atrial septal defect closure devices
In the last decade, percutaneous atrial septal defect (ASD) closure has become the treatment of choice in most clinical presentations of ASD. Percutaneous ASD closure has established procedural safety through operator experience and improved device structure and deliverability. There have also been advances in diagnostic capabilities. Devices have evolved from large bulky meshes to repositionab...
متن کاملPercutaneous closure of an iatrogenic atrial septal defect.
The use of the Tandem Heart percutaneous ventricular assist device (Tandem Heart pVAD, Cardiac Assist technologies, Pittsburgh, PA) as a bridge to recovery or to other cardiopulmonary support systems has been rising. One requirement for placement of this device is an intraatrial septostomy which is usually closed during the surgical insertion of more permanent ventricular assist devices. We pre...
