Failed closure of a ventricular septal defect with an Amplatzer occluder.

چکیده
A 74-year-old man was diagnosed to have a ventricular septal defect (VSD), which was detected shortly following transvenous pacemaker implantation. Transoesophageal echocardiography suggested the presence of two VSDs, one of which was closed with a device. At surgery, a single large VSD was seen, with the implanted device having embolised into the left ventricle. The defect was successfully closed using a pericardial patch, and the embolised device explanted.

Closure 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 کامل[Transcatheter closure of postinfarction ventricular septal defects using Amplatzer devices].
We carried out transcatheter procedures to close postinfarction ventricular septal defects (PIVSDs) in 19 patients: two had recanalization after surgical closure, and 17 had a primary PIVSD. In three of the latter patients, who had acute PIVSDs, the procedure was carried out in the first 3 weeks after infarction; in the 13 patients with subacute PIVSD, it was carried out 3.5-12 weeks after infa...

Introduction: In this study, we sought to illustrate our experience in urgent surgical management for embolized cardiac septal occlude devices resulting from trans-catheter closure of atrial septal defect and ventricular septal defect. Mathrials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed four patients aged 2–10 years who underwent urgent surgery due to cardiac septal occluder embolization between...
متن کاملLive/Real Time Three-Dimensional Trans Esophageal Echocardiographic Findings in Amplatzer ASD Closure Devices in Adults
Six female patients aged from 19 to 73 years, with ostium secundum atrial septal defect underwent closure procedure with Amplatzer septal occluder device. Three-dimensional Echocardiography (3D-TEE) was done during the procedure or one day after the procedure. 3D-TEE provides incremental value over Two- dimensional trans-esophageal echocardiography in measuring Amplatzer septal occluder disc si...
متن کاملRight ventricular infarction complicated by right to left shunting through an atrial septal defect: successful treatment with an Amplatzer septal occluder.
A 68 year old woman presented with right ventricular myocardial infarction complicated by refractory hypoxaemia. She was found to have a significant right to left shunt at the atrial level through a previously undiagnosed ostium secundum atrial septal defect. Percutaneous closure of the atrial septal defect with an Amplatzer septal occluder resulted in prompt improvement in her oxygenation and ...
متن کاملPercutaneous closure of perimembranous ventricular septal defects associated with septal aneurysm in adults.
OBJECTIVE Percutaneous closure of perimembranous ventricular septal defects (pmVSD) has become an accepted alternative to surgical closure in selected cases. However, closure of pmVSDs associated with septal aneurysm is more challenging. We report our experience of device closure of pmVSDs associated with septal aneurysm. METHODS Between 2008 and 2012, percutaneous closure of pmVSD associated...
