Percutaneous closure of a postoperative residual atrial septal defect with the Occlutech Figulla Occluder device.
A 67-year-old male patient with an eight-month history of operation for mitral valve repair and secundum atrial septal defect (ASD) presented with complaints of fatigue and shortness of breath. Transthoracic echocardiography showed a residual ASD resulting from separation of a pericardial patch. Qp/Qs rate was 3.2. The diameter of the residual defect measured by transesophageal echocardiography...
متن کاملTranscatheter retrieval of embolized AMPLATZER Septal Occluder.
In selected patients, transcatheter closure of atrial septal defects with the AMPLATZER Septal Occluder has yielded excellent results. However, there is a slight risk of device embolization after deployment. We report the case of a 26-year-old woman in whom an embolized AMPLATZER device was retrieved percutaneously from the right pulmonary artery. We also discuss important technical principles ...
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 کاملThe Occlutech Figulla PFO and ASD occluder: a new nitinol wire mesh device for closure of atrial septal defects.
BACKGROUND We investigated the safety, feasibility and efficacy of the Occlutech devices for patent foramen ovale (PFO) and atrial septal defect (ASD) closure in a prospective trial. METHODS The retention discs of the PFO device (23 x 25 mm, 27 x 30 mm) are connected by a 3 mm waist in the center with only one right atrial side central pin. The left atrial disc is produced either with a singl...
متن کاملPercutaneous retrieval of an interatrial septal occluder device embolized into the aortic arch.
Percutaneous closure of secundum atrial septal defects (ASD) may be complicated by immediate embolization. We report on a 35-year-old woman who underwent percutaneous device closure for a secundum ASD. The diameter of the defect was measured as 4 mm by two-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography and a 7-mm Figulla ASD occluder device was implanted without prior balloon sizing of the defect...
