Allergic Reaction to Percutaneously Placed Amplatzer Device for Symptomatic Patent Foramen Ovale
نویسندگان
چکیده
Transcatheter placement of patent foramen ovale occluders (PFO) is a safe and effective alternative to conventional open heart surgery with surgical repair of patent foramen ovale. Most devices involved in this repair are made up of a nitinol frame and over time there have been sporadic reports of allergic reactions in some patients to these devices, which are a composite of 55% nickel and 45% titanium. These reactions have ranged from cutaneous dermopathies, pericarditis, migraines to device syndromes [1-3].

Amplatzer occluder versus CardioSEAL/STARFlex occluder: a meta-analysis of the efficacy and safety of transcatheter occlusion for patent foramen ovale and atrial septal defect.
OBJECTIVE Percutaneous transcatheter occlusion has benefited thousands of patients suffering from patent foramen ovale and atrial septal defect. However, no general agreement has been reached on the superiority among occluders. Thus, a meta-analysis between the two most commonly adopted types of occluders was conducted. METHODS The literature review has identified relevant studies up to May, ...

متن کاملTriple percutaneous patent foramen ovale closure
Percutaneous patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure is mainly performed for secondary prevention of presumed paradoxical embolism. Since a residual shunt has been associated with recurrent events, complete PFO closure is desirable. We report the first case of ultimately successful percutaneous PFO closure using successively 3 Amplatzer PFO devices.
