Transcatheter Closure of Multiple Atrial Septal Defects With the Amplatzer Device
نویسندگان
چکیده
Percutaneous device occlusion of secundum atrial septal defect (ASD) has become an accepted alternative to surgical repair. A variety of devices have been used successfully. However, all of them have limitations. We report our experience with two devices used to close multiple ASDs.

Outcome of Transcatheter Closure of Oval Shaped Atrial Septal Defect with Amplatzer Septal Occluder
PURPOSE For the successful completion of transcatheter closure of atrial septal defects with the Amplatzer septal occluder, shape of the defects should be considered prior to selecting the device. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the results of a transcatheter closure of oval shaped atrial septal defect. MATERIALS AND METHODS From November 2009 until November 2011, cardiac computed to...
متن کاملTranscatheter closure of multiple atrial septal defects. Initial results and value of two- and three-dimensional transoesophageal echocardiography.
AIMS To examine the feasibility of transcatheter closure of multiple atrial septal defects using two Amplatzer devices simultaneously and to describe the importance and the role of two- and three-dimensional transoesophageal echocardiography in the selection and closure of such defects. METHODS Twenty-two patients with more than one atrial septal defect underwent an attempt at transcatheter c...

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...

Objective: To assess the short-term outcome following transcatheter closure of secundum atrial septal defect (ASD) in our hospital. Patients and Methods: Between June 2000 and November 2001, 20 patients diagnosed as secundum atrial septal defects underwent transcatheter closure of their defects using the Amplatzer septal occluder (ASO) device. Indications for 18 patients were larger atrial sept...
متن کاملTranscatheter closure of atrial septal defects.
Transcatheter closure of atrial septal defects has evolved significantly over the last 20 years. Transcatheter closure has replaced surgical closure for the treatment of most secundum atrial septal defectsat the current time. A major reason for this is the lower morbidity of transcatheter closure procedures. Several closure devices have come into clinical use. The Amplatzer septal occluder (AGA...
متن کاملTranscatheter retrieval of embolized AMPLATZER Septal Occluder.
In selected patients, transcatheter closure of atrial septal defects with the AMPLATZER Septal Occluder has yielded excellent results. However, there is a slight risk of device embolization after deployment. We report the case of a 26-year-old woman in whom an embolized AMPLATZER device was retrieved percutaneously from the right pulmonary artery. We also discuss important technical principles ...
