Transcatheter closure of Blalock-Taussig shunts with a modified Rashkind umbrella delivery system.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Transcatheter occlusion of Blalock-Taussig shunts was successfully performed in three children with the Rashkind double umbrella occluding device. Complete occlusion was confirmed angiographically in two patients and echocardiographically in the third. The delivery system was adapted for use through smaller sheaths making it more suitable for small children or arterial access.

متن کاملClosure of Blalock-Taussig shunts using a new detachable coil device.
Two children underwent interventional closure of a modified Blalock-Taussig shunt using a new detachable coil system (Duct-Occlud). This procedure has advantages over currently available materials to occlude these and other communications between the systemic and pulmonary circulations.
متن کاملPercutaneous closure of Blalock-Taussig shunts using Gianturco coils.
Permeability of a Blalock-Taussig shunt can increase the risk of endocarditis and ventricular overload. Percutaneous embolization of these shunts gives variable results. We report our experience in 10 patients with percutaneous closure of modified Blalock-Taussig shunts using retrograde arterial embolization with Gianturco coils. The patients' median age was 2.8 years, and their median weight w...
متن کاملTranscatheter closure of ventricular septal defects.
Between January and October, 1987, we attempted percutaneous transcatheter closure of seven ventricular septal defects (VSD) in six patients; none of the patients was a candidate for operative management. Patients' ages ranged from 8 months to 82 years (6.0-70 kg); diagnoses included postinfarction VSD (n = 4), congenital VSD (n = 1), and postoperative congenital VSD (n = 2). Indications for VS...
متن کاملPerigraft seroma complicating the modified Blalock-Taussig shunts: two consecutive instances with review of literature.
Systemic-to-pulmonary artery shunts using polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) (modified Blalock-Taussig shunt) are being used successfully in palliation of cyanotic congenital heart diseases. Graft thrombosis is by far the most common complication of the procedure. Persistant serum leakage through PTFE graft causing perigraft seroma is a rare but devastating complication resulting in increased durat...
