Managing a traumatic ventricular septal defect with atrial septal defect occluder device
Cardiology in the Young, 2012AbstractTraumatic ventricular septal defects are rare complications of blunt and penetrating chest trauma. Patients are usually referred because of shock or cardiac tamponade. Focusing on the critical condition of the patient leads to missing the presence of traumatic ventricular septal defects.

The Amplatzer®Septal Occluder, a transcatheter device for atrial septal defect closure
Expert Review of Medical Devices, 2008Transcatheter device closure of secundum atrial septal defect (ASD) has been widely accepted and is becoming the standard treatment of this malformation. Among the devices used for transcatheter closure, the Amplatzer Septal Occluder is the first device to receive full approval from the US FDA for clinical use in patients with secundum ASD. It is safe,

Embolization of an Atrial Septal Occluder Device in the Mitral Valve Apparatus
Echocardiography, 2014Mini‐AbstractOstium secundum atrial septal defect is a common congenital anomaly. Treatment is indicated in patients with hemodynamically significant shunt and right ventricular failure. The Amplatzer septal occluder is one of the most commonly used devices for percutaneous closure of this type of defects.

A New Minimally Invasive Technique to Occlude Ventricular Septal Defect Using an Occluder Device
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2008This study was to evaluate ventricular septal defect occlusion using a lower mini-sternotomy approach.Eleven cases with ventricular septal defect underwent general anesthesia and a 3 to 4 cm lower mini-sternotomy incision was made. Using transesophageal echocardiography, the occluder was released using a mono-tubed unit.All cases were occluded ...

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, 2002
AbstractPercutaneous transvenous closure of atrial septal defects (ASDs) has become feasible in recent years, as later‐generation devices have largely overcome initial difficulties in device deployment and complication rates. The Amplatzer septal occluder (ASO) is one such device that we have used extensively and is, in our opinion, the most versatile ...

There is an 80-90% mortality rate within the first 2 months of the occurrence of a post-infarction ventricular septal defect (VSD) with medical treatment alone. The muscular VSD presents a technical problem for the surgeon. Surgical treatment was unsuccessful in two patients.

Recurrent Strokes After Gore Septal Occluder Device Closure of Atrial Septal Defect
Canadian Journal of Cardiology, 2017We report a case of recurrent strokes in a healthy teenager after complete closure of atrial septal defect with Gore Septal Occluder (W.L. Gore and Associates, Newark, DE) device. The disk of the device produced a friction injury to the left atrial endocardium promoting thrombus formation with subsequent embolization to the brain requiring surgical ...

AbstractDevice closure of oval fossa atrial scptal defects with the Amplatzer Septal Occluder was performed in 26 patients ranging in age from 0.89 to 60.44 years. In eight additional patients no device implant was performed because of the presence of multiple defects or because the defect was of a size unsuitable for closure with the devices currently

Dislocation of Amplatzer Septal Occluder Device after Closure of Secundum Atrial Septal Defect
Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography, 2010Atrial septal defect transcatheter occlusion techniques have become an alternative to surgical procedures. With the increasing use of this new technology, several complications have been identified. The authors present the case of a patient who was admitted to the hospital for primary percutaneous closure of a secundum atrial septal defect.
