Cardiac perforation after device closure of atrial septal defects with the Amplatzer septal occluder
Amplatzer septal occluder (ASO)-associated cardiac perforation (CP) at our institution prompted this retrospective review.Cardiac perforation is a rare complication after transcatheter atrial septal defect (ASD) closure.To identify CP after transcatheter ASD closure with ASO, cardiac events (CE) describing definite CP, hemopericardium, pericardial ...

Occlusion of an Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt With an Amplatzer Septal Occluder Device in a Dog. [PDF]
This is the first description, to the authors’ knowledge, of the use of an Amplatzer occluder device for a large intrahepatic shunt. In this case, shunt attenuation was successful with no major complications. Instead of accumulating coils or having to proceed with open laparotomy, the use of such device could be made routine for bigger shunt vessels of
