Late device embolization in a persistent mitral paravalvular leak.
An 83-year-old man with severe organic mitral regurgitation underwent mitral valve surgery with implantation of a biologic prosthesis. Four months later he presented with hemolytic anemia and heart failure due to severe paravalvular regurgitation. Since the patient refused surgery, the paravalvular leak was closed percutaneously using two Amplatzer devices, with angiographic and clinical succes...
متن کاملUse of an Amplatzer ductal occluder to close a persistent left superior caval vein which reopened after a total cavopulmonary anastomosis.
A 7-year-old boy developed increasing cyanosis after a total cavopulmonary connection with a 3 mm fenestration in the baffle. Catheterisation performed 4 years and 7 months after the operation showed reopening of a left superior caval vein draining into the pulmonary venous atrium. Due to the large size of the left superior caval vein, and the absence of intrinsic stenosis, we chose to use an A...
متن کاملSuccessful Percutaneous Retrieval of Embolized Septal Occluder Device from Aortic Arch and Placement of a Newer Septal Occluder Device in Combined Procedure
Embolization of the Amplatzer Septal Occluder (ASO) device (St. Jude Medical, Minnesota) after percutaneous closure of atrial septal defect (ASD) is a rare and potentially catastrophic complication. Percutaneous retrieval of the embolized device is gaining ground as an acceptable method, although these patients are usually subsequently referred for open surgical closure of the ASD. We present a...
متن کاملUse of the amplatzer vascular plug II device to occlude different types of patent ductus arteriosus in pediatric patients.
INTRODUCTION Transcatheter patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) closure is difficult in small patients in part due to the diverse PDA morphology. We describe a multicenter pediatric experience using the Amplatzer Vascular Plug II device (AVP II) to occlude PDA. METHODS All patients undergoing transcatheter closure of PDA with AVP II from April 2008 until May 2012 were included. Clinical, angiograph...
متن کاملIn vitro hemodynamic testing of Amplatzer plugs for paravalvular leak occlusion after transcatheter aortic valve implantation.
OBJECTIVE We aimed to in-vitro test Amplatzer devices (Amplatzer Vascular Plug II and Amplatzer Vascular Plug III, SJM, St. Paul, MN) in closing PVL generated by transcatheter balloon expandable aortic valve prosthesis in order to quantify the effective treatment of PVL. BACKGROUND Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) procedures represent the treatment of choice for high risk patien...
