Use of the reversed button device to treat an atrial septal aneurysm associated with a patent foramen ovale.
نویسندگان
چکیده
An atrial septal aneurysm may be associated with a patent foramen ovale. When paradoxical emboli result, the shunt must be closed and the atrial septal aneurysm excised. A reversed buttoned occluder device was successfully used for the transcatheter treatment of this condition.

Atrial septal anomalies suggested to play important role in enhancing tendency to induce cerebral embolic events. This study was undertaken to find the frequency of atrial septal anomalies including Patent Foramen Ovale, Atrial Septal Aneurysm and Atrial Septal Defect in patients with etiologically unknown stroke categorized as cryptogenic.Materials and Methods: 32 patients were studied by tran...
متن کاملA Study Using Transesophageal Echocardiography
Background and Purpose: An association between atrial septal aneurysm and embolic events has been suggested. Atrial septal aneurysm has been shown to be associated with patent foramen ovale and, in some reports, with mitral valve prolapse. These two latter cardiac disorders have been identified as potential risk factors for ischemic stroke. The aim of this prospective study was to assess the ro...
متن کاملPacemaker lead entrapment complicating transcatheter closure of a patent foramen ovale.
T ranscatheter cardiovascular interventions are nowadays more frequently and safely performed, thus leading to populate the heart with medical devices. Here, we describe an unusual complication following percutaneous closure of a patent foramen ovale (PFO) with an atrial septal occluder. A 52-year-old woman with history of transient ischemic attack was found to have a PFO associated with an atr...
متن کاملAtrial septal aneurysm as a cardioembolic source in adult patients with stroke and normal carotid arteries. A multicentre study.
BACKGROUND Atrial septal aneurysm has been considered a potential source of cardiogenic embolism for many years. The present study evaluated the prevalence and characteristics of atrial septal aneurysm in a patient population with stroke and normal carotid arteries compared to a control population without stroke. METHODS A total of 606 patients were enrolled between November 1990 and December...
متن کاملPatent foramen ovale and cryptogenic stroke – a statistical or cause-and-effect relationship? A neurological point of view
Patent foramen ovale and atrial septal aneurysm are considered to be factors conducive to the occurrence of stroke and transient ischaemic attacks. However, there is no clear answer to the question whether patent foramen ovale is an independent risk factor for stroke and what the mechanism of potential cerebral ischaemia in patients with an interatrial septal abnormality is. The paper presents ...
