Live/Real Time Three-Dimensional Trans Esophageal Echocardiographic Findings in Amplatzer ASD Closure Devices in Adults

چکیده
Six female patients aged from 19 to 73 years, with ostium secundum atrial septal defect underwent closure procedure with Amplatzer septal occluder device. Three-dimensional Echocardiography (3D-TEE) was done during the procedure or one day after the procedure. 3D-TEE provides incremental value over Two- dimensional trans-esophageal echocardiography in measuring Amplatzer septal occluder disc sizes and correlates well with manufacture device size. 3D-TEE will surely prove to increase the technical efficiency and it will become an important tool for the interventionists for periprocedural evaluation of device closures.

Device closure of atrial septal defect with amplatzer septal occluder in adults- safety and outcome.
BACKGROUND Secundum atrial septal defect is a common congenital heart disease. Amplatzer septal occluder has become the most commonly used device for its closure. This study was conducted to determine the safety and outcome of atrial septal defect closure with the Amplatzer septal occlude (ASO). METHODS This Case-series was conducted at Armed Forces Institute of Cardiology/National Institute ...

OBJECTIVES This study assessed the ability of live/real time three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (3DTEE) in measuring (1) atrial septal defect (ASD) maximum dimension, area, and adjacent rim size, (2) ASD occluder left and right atrial disk size, (3) length of contact between the left atrial (LA) disk and the aorta, and in (4) assessing device related complications such as residu...

Transcatheter closure of secundum atrial septal defect (ASD) using percutaneous approach has become accepted treatment in many cardiac centers. The majority of patients with ASD require a single device for closure, but a small proportion of ASD patients may have multiple defects and these are often considered unsuitable for device closure. Although spatial imaging to understand the relationship...

OBJECTIVES This study reports our clinical experience with transcatheter closure of secundum atrial septal defects (ASDs) in children, using the Amplatzer, a new occlusion device. BACKGROUND None of the devices previously used for transcatheter closure of interatrial communications has gained wide acceptance. METHODS We examined the efficacy and safety of the Amplatzer, a new self-centering...

A previously healthy 12-year-old boy was admitted to the hospital with acute pneumonitis. On admission, a heart murmur was detected. The transthoracic echocardiogram showed multiple secundum atrial septal defects with left-toright shunt and signs of right ventricular volume overload. He underwent right cardiac catheterization and transesophageal echocardiogram (transesophageal echocardiography)...
