An unpredictable complication of a transcatheter closure device and surgical treatment

چکیده
The incidence of paravalvular leak (PVL) in patients who underwent mitral valve replacement is 7–17%. Hemolysis and congestive heart failure, which require an operation or intervention, are two main consequences with an incidence of 1–3%. In consequence of this reoperation is associated with high mortality and morbidity. A 48-year-old man who underwent coronary artery bypass and mitral valve replacement surgery was evaluated. Paravalvular regurgitant jet flow adjacent to the appendix was localized with TEE imaging. Transapical transcatheter PVL closure was planned because of conE-page Original Images Anatol J Cardiol 2015; 15: E24-6 E-25

Integrated Percutaneous Atrial Septal Defect Occlusion and Pulmonary Balloon Valvuloplasty
Introduction: Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) is one of the most common congenital heart diseases during childhood. Today, ASD closure is done by occlutech device via cardiac catheterization. ASD repair with transcatheter technique has shown high closure rate. However, coexistence of severe pulmonary stenosis and large defect in atrial septum is rare. When these two problems coexist, the result is i...

Introduction: In this study, we sought to illustrate our experience in urgent surgical management for embolized cardiac septal occlude devices resulting from trans-catheter closure of atrial septal defect and ventricular septal defect. Mathrials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed four patients aged 2–10 years who underwent urgent surgery due to cardiac septal occluder embolization between...
متن کاملTranscatheter Versus Surgical Closure of Atrial Septal Defects.
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to determine whether a transcatheter procedure or surgical closure offers a better value proposition for atrial septal defect (ASD) closure. BACKGROUND Secundum ASDs are common congenital heart defects with both transcatheter and surgical treatment options. Although both options have been shown to have excellent results in children, the relative value ...
متن کاملEfficacy and safety of transcatheter closure in adults with large or small atrial septal defects
BACKGROUND In most patients with secundum atrial septal defects (ASD), transcatheter closure is the preferred treatment strategy, but whether device size affects clinical outcomes is unknown. We sought to study the efficacy and safety of large closure devices compared to the use of smaller devices. METHODS Using a single-center, prospective registry of adult patients undergoing transcatheter ...
متن کاملIntermediate Outcome of Transcatheter Closure of Secundum Atrial Septal Defect on Cardiac Remodeling in Egyptian Children and Adults
Trans-catheter ASD closure has become an important alternative to surgical repair in the management of patients with Secundum-type ASD [1]. It is a simple, effective technique with low complication rate. Transcatheter ASD device closure leads to significant improvement in the heart cavity dimensions in particular the right sided dimensions in children and adults in the intermediate –term follow...
