surgical treatment of amplatzer embolus in a secundum atrial septal defect patient
نویسندگان
چکیده
a secundum atrial septal defect is the most common congenital heart defect. transcatheter treatment of secundum atrial septal defects is a popular and less invasive alternative to surgery. procedural complications may occur in a wide spectrum, particularly device embolus as the most emergent one, but luckily they do not commonly occur in the clinical setting. mortality from adverse events related to transcatheter treatment strategies is twentyfold higher than that of primary elective surgical closure. here, we report an amplatzer device embolus in a secundum atrial septal defect patient. the device was successfully removed with surgery, postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient was discharged from the hospital on the 5 th postoperative day.

متن کاملLong-term follow up of secundum atrial septal defect closure with the amplatzer septal occluder.
BACKGROUND During the past 15 years, closure of a secundum atrial septal defect (ASD) has moved from a surgical to a percutaneous transcatheter approach. Few long-term studies of the efficacy and safety of closure of an ASD by an Amplatzer septal occluder (ASO) exist. METHODS To examine the long-term results of secundum ASD closure using the ASO, data on 94 patients who underwent secundum ASD...
متن کاملLong-term outcome of transcatheter secundum-type atrial septal defect closure using Amplatzer septal occluders.
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to assess long-term results of percutaneous closure of secundum-type atrial septal defect (ASD II) using Amplatzer septal occluders (ASO). BACKGROUND Only immediate-, short-, and intermediate-term results of ASO implantation are known so far. METHODS Between September 1995 and January 2000, 151 patients underwent a successful percutaneous closure of ASD ...
متن کاملSimultaneous transcatheter valvuloplasty and Amplatzer septal occlusion for pulmonary valvar stenosis and secundum atrial septal defect.
Transcatheter balloon valvuloplasty had been established as the treatment of choice in patients with pulmonary valvar stenosis. Non surgical closure of secundum atrial defects by various occlusive devices is currently being evaluated. We report the first successful simultaneous transvenous Mansfield balloon dilation and Amplatzer septal occlusion in a 7-year-old girl with moderately severe pulm...
متن کاملSecundum atrial septal defect: routine surgical treatment is not of proven benefit.
Secundum atrial septal defect accounts for 10% of congenital heart disease4 at birth and for 30-40% of cases seen in adults.5 Approximately 300-400 patients undergo surgical closure of atrial septal defect in the United Kingdom each year. Reports of the natural history of atrial septal defect and of the indications for and results of surgery imply that patients become increasingly symptomatic w...
