Intrahepatic Portosystemic Venous Shunt: Successful Embolization Using the Amplatzer Vascular Plug II
A 67-year-old woman presented with memory impairment and behavioral changes. Brain MRI indicated hepatic encephalopathy. Abdominal CT scans revealed an intrahepatic portosystemic venous shunt that consisted of two shunt tracts to the aneurysmal sac that communicated directly with the right hepatic vein. The large tract was successfully occluded by embolization using the newly available AMPLATZE...
متن کاملLeft Atrial Appendage Closure Guided by Integrated Echocardiography and Fluoroscopy Imaging Reduces Radiation Exposure
AIMS To investigate whether percutaneous left atrial appendage (LAA) closure guided by automated real-time integration of 2D-/3D-transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) and fluoroscopy imaging results in decreased radiation exposure. METHODS AND RESULTS In this open-label single-center study LAA closure (AmplatzerTM Cardiac Plug) was performed in 34 consecutive patients (8 women; 73.1±8.5 year...
متن کاملPercutaneous Closure of Mitral Paravalvular Leak Guided by Three-Dimensional Transesophageal Echocardiography
Reoperation is the method of choice for correcting prosthetic paravalvular leaks. The percutaneous repair of mitral paravalvular leaks might represent an interesting alternative in select cases. The present study reports two cases of mitral paravalvular leaks that were treated with AmplatzerTM Vascular Plug III guided by three-dimensional (3D) transesophageal echocardiography, using the percuta...
متن کاملPercutaneous closure of the left atrial appendage using the Amplatzer Cardiac Plug in patients with atrial fibrillation: evaluation of safety and feasibility.
BACKGROUND Ischaemic stroke is a common complication of atrial fibrillation (AF). Cardiology societies recommend assessing the risk of ischaemic stroke and using adequate prevention in patients with AF. Currently, oral anticoagulants and antiplatelet drugs are the most commonly used methods of stroke prevention. Left atrial appendage (LAA) is thought to be the main source of thrombi in patients...
متن کاملCryoballoon ablation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation in the presence of an Amplatzer Septal Occluder device
Cryoballoon ablation of the pulmonary veins (CAPV) has been demonstrated to be non-inferior to radiofrequency (RF) ablation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AFib). As CAPV requires a larger transseptal sheath than RF ablation, it can be challenging in the presence of an AmplatzerTM Septal Occluder (ASO) device. Real-time three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (RT3DTEE) provides e...
