Transcatheter Closure of Atrial Septal Defects in Children, Middle-Aged Adults, and Older Adults: Failure Rates, Early Complications; and Balloon Sizing Effects
نویسندگان
چکیده
Objectives. To compare the failure ratio and inhospital complications across three age groups of patients and to investigate the effects of balloon sizing on the success and the device diameter. Methods. This retrospective review was of 665 patients who had been listed for transcatheter-based closure of ASD between 1999 and 2010. The patients were divided into three age groups: children (<18 years; n = 183), adults (18-50 years; n = 337), and older adults (>50 years; n = 145). Procedural outcomes and early complications were reviewed. Use of balloon sizing was explored for its benefits. Results. Overall, failure of closure was 6.6% (n = 44). Use of balloon sizing tended to lead to a smaller device/defect ratio that was comparable to procedures without balloon sizing, though it did not predict the success rate (OR 1.4, 95% CI 0.7-2.3). Seven patients reported device embolization (1%). No mortalities were noted. In-hospital complications were 3.4%, with common complications, being vascular complications (1.4%) and cardiac arrhythmia (1.1%). No differences in failure rate or events were found among the three groups. Conclusion. Transcather closure of ASD is feasible and safe, regardless of the patient's age. A low rate of early complications was noted. Balloon sizing does not aggravate an oversizing of the device, but does not predict success.

BACKGROUND Data are needed on the safety and efficacy of device closure of large atrial septal defects. METHODS AND RESULTS Between 1998 and 2013, 336 patients (161 children <15 years) with large, isolated, secundum atrial septal defects (balloon-stretched diameter ≥34 mm in adults or echocardiographic diameter >15 mm/m(2) in children) were managed using the Amplatzer device, at the Marie Lan...
متن کاملTranscatheter closure of atrial septal defects--is balloon sizing still necessary?
INTRODUCTION The device closure of atrial septal defects has evolved over the years. In the early days of transcatheter occlusion, balloon sizing was used to choose an appropriate sized device. We postulate that balloon sizing does not value-add to the procedure and is unnecessary. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients who had balloon sizing, with (Group 1, n = 38) or without (Group 2, n = 21) atria...

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...

SUBJECTS AND METHODS In this study, 683 patients who underwent atrial septal defect closure in the last 10 years were divided into three groups: children (age <12), adolescents (age 12 to 16), and adults...
متن کاملEchocardiographic visualization of laceration of atrial septum during balloon sizing of atrial septal defect.
Transcatheter closure of atrial septal defect (ASD) has become an accepted alternative to surgery. A number of complications associated with ASD device closure have been recognized but most are rare or minor in severity. We report a rare complication of atrial septal laceration during transcatheter closure of secundum ASD. We discuss the diagnostic confusion, which resulted in the decision for ...
