Balloon assisted technique for closure of large atrial septal defects
نویسنده
چکیده
Amplatzer device closure of large atrial septal defects is challenging. A large device tends to malalign with the plane of the interatrial septum or prolapses through the defect. We describe a balloon assisted technique which has been successfully used in over 300 cases without a single technical failure.

Integrated Percutaneous Atrial Septal Defect Occlusion and Pulmonary Balloon Valvuloplasty
Introduction: Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) is one of the most common congenital heart diseases during childhood. Today, ASD closure is done by occlutech device via cardiac catheterization. ASD repair with transcatheter technique has shown high closure rate. However, coexistence of severe pulmonary stenosis and large defect in atrial septum is rare. When these two problems coexist, the result is i...
متن کاملGraded balloon dilatation as a prerequisite to Amplatzer device closure of perforated interatrial septal aneurysm.
This case report describes a modification in the technique of atrial septal device closure in a patient with atrial septal defect (ASD) with associated atrial septum aneurysm and significant left-to-right shunt through multiple perforations. Graded balloon dilatation of the aneurysm was performed in this patient, as a preamble to successful deployment of a single large Amplatzer atrial septal o...

متن کامل[Correction of the perpendicular positioning of the Amplatzer device during closure of an ostium secundum atrial septal defect].
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Ostium secundum atrial septal defects require closure. Echocardiographic studies have reported that, in 7% of cases, the Amplatzer occluder is orientated perpendicular to the rim of the defect. This article describes the use of an ancillary technique involving a balloon catheter that enables the Amplatzer device to be positioned transversely. METHODS We report six ...
متن کاملTranscatheter closure of atrial septal defects--is balloon sizing still necessary?
INTRODUCTION The device closure of atrial septal defects has evolved over the years. In the early days of transcatheter occlusion, balloon sizing was used to choose an appropriate sized device. We postulate that balloon sizing does not value-add to the procedure and is unnecessary. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients who had balloon sizing, with (Group 1, n = 38) or without (Group 2, n = 21) atria...
