Delayed Amplatzer Occluder Device Closure of Postinfarction Ventricular Septal Defect: A Case Report
Postinfarction ventricular septal defect (VSD) is a rare complication after acute myocardial infarction, with an incidence rate of 1-2% of all myocardial infarcts (Hutchins, 1979). It is a medical emergency with sobering survival numbers, having a mortality rate of 70-80% within two weeks of the incident event (Bouchart et al., 1998). Cardiac surgery is considered the gold standard in the manag...
متن کامل[Percutaneous closure of ventricular septal defect with an Amplatzer device].
We present a series of 4 patients in whom a ventricular septal defect (VSD) was closed with an Amplatzer muscular VSD device during cardiac catheterization. In one patient with type I truncus arteriosus and subarterial VSD, closure of a wide apical defect was done to allow further surgical correction while avoiding left ventricular ventriculotomy. The second patient had congenitally corrected t...
متن کاملTranscatheter closure of a residual postmyocardial infarction ventricular septal defect with the Amplatzer septal occluder.
Acute ventricular septal rupture following myocardial infarction carries a high mortality. Early surgery improves survival but long term outcome depends on residual shunting and left ventricular function. Residual shunting is common despite apparently successful closure and may require reoperation. Transcatheter closure is an established method of treating selected congenital defects but clinic...
متن کاملClosure of a muscular ventricular septal defect using the Amplatzer ventricular occluder.
Surgical closure of ventricular septal defect is safe, however, the inherent risks associated with cardiopulmonary bypass and the potential early and late postsurgical complications including complete heart block, arrhythmias, postpericardiotomy syndrome, and rare deaths have led physicians to prefer transcatheter occlusion technique for closure of such defects. The use of Amplatzer muscular ve...
متن کاملDevice 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 ...
