The Amplatzer duct occluder: experience in 209 patients.
OBJECTIVES The aim of the study was to assess the safety and efficacy of the Amplatzer ductal occluder (ADO) in transcatheter occlusion of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). BACKGROUND Transcatheter closure of small to moderate sized PDAs is an established procedure. The ADO is a self-expandable device with a number of salutary features, notably its retrievability, ease of delivery via small 5F ...
متن کاملA new use for the amplatzer duct occluder device.
We report a case in which the Amplatzer device for percutaneous occlusion of ductus arteriosus was successfully used for occluding a large systemic-pulmonary collateral vessel in a patient who had previously undergone surgery for correction of pulmonary atresia and ventricular septal defect (Rastelli technique), and was awaiting the change of a cardiac tube. In the first attempt, the device emb...
متن کاملInitial experience of transcatheter closure of subarterial VSD with the Amplatzer duct occluder.
BACKGROUND The traditional treatment of subarterial ventricular septal defect (VSD) is open heart surgery. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility, safety and outcome of transcatheter closure with the Amplatzer duct occluder (ADO). METHODS Between March 2012 and June 2015, a total of 16 patients (8 male and 8 female) with subarterial VSD who underwent transcatheter closure with the ADO w...
متن کاملPercutaneous Forceps Retrieval of an Embolized Amplatzer Duct Occluder
Transcatheter closure of patent ductus arteriosus with the Amplatzer duct occluder shows excellent results. However, there is a risk of device embolization after deployment. We report the case of a 33-year-old man in whom an embolized Amplatzer device was retrieved from the right pulmonary artery by a percutaneous method. We also review this uncommon severe complication and offer technical tips...
متن کاملTranscatheter closure of aortopulmonary window with Amplatzer duct occluder II
Sir, An aortopulmonary window (APW) is a rare cardiac malformation, first reported by Elliotson, is found in 0.1% of patients with congenital cardiac lesions.[1] In most cases, surgical repair is undertaken during infancy although isolated cases have been reported of transcatheter device closures. We report our experience of transcatheter APW closure via antegrade and retrograde methods using a...
