Reversible atrioventricular block associated with closure of atrial septal defects using the Amplatzer device.
OBJECTIVES We sought to determine the incidence, nature, and predisposing factors of atrioventricular block (AVB) associated with closure of atrial septal defects (ASDs) using the Amplatzer septal occluder (ASO). BACKGROUND In our institution, 162 patients underwent ASD closure using ASO between December 1997 and December 2001. This includes small children with large defects. METHODS Electr...
متن کاملAmplatzer septal occluder-induced transient complete atrioventricular block.
Percutaneous transcatheter atrial septal defect (ASD) closure is a widely used technique that has replaced open-heart surgical closure in many centers. The most common implant is the Amplatzer septal occluder which seems to be a highly effective and safe device. However, there are reports of complications associated with its implantation. We report a 9-year-old boy who presented with complete a...
متن کاملTuberculous Serositis Coexisting with Reversible High-Grade Atrioventricular Block
We report two young male patients with documented tuberculous serositis that were complicated with high-degree atrioventricular block (AV block) during the course of the disease. In contrast to the previously reported irreversible nature of tuberculosis-related AV block, these conduction abnormalities in our cases resolved spontaneously under antituberculosis treatment. Such reversible tubercul...
متن کاملDiltiazem: A Reversible Cause of Atrioventricular Block – Until Proven Otherwise
Drugs are considered a common reversible cause of rhythm conduction disorders. Atrio-ventricular (AV) block occurs more commonly following β-blocker or digitalis administration, but calcium channel blockers have also been linked to AV block [1,2] The cornerstone of management in drug-related AV block is to determine whether the AV block is truly reversible upon withdrawal of the culprit drug, h...
