Displacement of the Amplatzer occluder device from the mitral paraprosthetic leak.

چکیده
A critically ill patient had a major mitral paravalvular leak, failed device closure of the leak, and severe hemolytic anemia after a third mitral valve replacement. Echocardiography showed the Amplatzer occluder device completely displaced and swirled in the left atrial cavity. His condition was greatly improved after a fourth mitral valve replacement.

Assessment of the geometric profile of the Amplatzer and Cardioseal septal occluders by three dimensional echocardiography.
OBJECTIVE To apply three dimensional echocardiography to describe the geometric profile of the Amplatzer and Cardioseal occluders after deployment for closure of atrial septal defect. METHODS 20 patients (mean (SD) age, 14 (5) years) were enrolled for transcatheter closure of a secundum atrial septal defect with the Amplatzer occluder (10) or with the Cardioseal occluder (10). The two populat...
متن کاملClosure of perivalvular leaks using an Amplatzer occluder.
Reoperation of patients with perivalvular leaks due to heart failure or hemolysis is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Percutaneous closure using an Amplatzer device offers a promising alternative. We describe our initial experience between 2004 and 2006, during which we used an Amplatzer device in eight patients for the percutaneous closure of perivalvular leaks (four aortic a...
متن کاملPercutaneous closure of mitral paravalvular leak.
Paravalvular leak (PVL) is a complication observed in patients after prosthetic valve replacement. The incidence of PVL is estimated as 2-3%. The cause of PVL may be paravalvular infection, suture continuity disruption, damage of tissues around the annulus or limitation of disc mobility by thrombus or vegetation. The preferable method of treatment of PVL is surgery. Recently, percutaneous closu...
متن کاملPercutaneous closure of an aorta to left atrium fistula with an Amplatzer duct occluder.
We describe percutaneous closure of an unusual paravalvular leak, with a communication from the noncoronary cusp of the aortic valve to the left atrium adjacent to a St. Jude mitral valve prosthesis, in the absence of an infection. The patient presented with worsening dyspnea and edema. The anatomic location of the valve annulus adjacent to the noncoronary cusp underlies the etiology of this co...
متن کاملTransapical closure of mitral prosthetic paravalvular leak.
Clinically significant mitral prosthetic paravalvular leaks may occur in up to 5% of patients following surgical mitral valve replacement. Successful closure may offer relief from symptoms of heart failure and hemolysis, but surgical closure is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Alternative transcatheter closure techniques are being developed. We present a patient who was succes...
