What general practitioners need to know about patent foramen ovale [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
A patent foramen ovale (PFO) consists of a hole between the right and left atriums of the heart that did not close the way it should after birth. Twenty five percent of the population have a PFO, but this usually does not cause problems, because the ...

Hemolysis induced by PMIVSD occluder

open access: yesIndian Heart Journal, 2016
Hemolysis related to occluder, prosthetic valve, and prosthetic ring used for mitral valve annuloplasty are not very unusual. However, hemolysis related to transcathetor closure of post-myocardial infarction ventricular septal defect (PMIVSD) is ...

Adaptive 4D‐Printed Vascular Stents With Low‐Temperature‐Activated and Intelligent Deployment

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 27, 2 April 2026.
Microarchitected coronary artery stents were fabricated using a polycaprolactone (PCL)‐based shape memory polymer (SMP) composite via projection micro‐stereolithography (PµSL) 4D printing. By incorporating diethyl phthalate (DEP) as a plasticizer, the thermal transition temperature (Ttran) was modulated to about 37°C, enabling rapid and autonomous ...

Creation of ventricular septal defects on the beating heart in a new pig model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Background/ Aims: So far, surgical and interventional therapies for muscular ventricular septal defects ( mVSDs) beyond the moderator band have had their limitations. Thus, alternative therapeutic strategies should be developed.

Infective endocarditis of transcatheter atrial septal occluder devices: A case report

open access: yesJournal of Cardiology Cases, 2022
Infective endocarditis (IE) is caused by bacterial vegetation in valves, but it can also occur in implanted mechanical devices. We report a rare case of IE occurring at the site of percutaneous atrial septal closure devices in a patient in her 50s that had been placed for residual defects on a closure patch in her childhood for an atrial septal defect (

Simultaneous Repair of Iatrogenic Left Atrial and Aortic Perforations Using Ductus Arteriosus Occluders: A Case Report

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, Volume 107, Issue 2, Page 524-526, February 1, 2026.
ABSTRACT Iatrogenic perforation of the left atrium and aorta during transseptal puncture (TSP) is a rare but potentially life‐threatening complication. This report presents the case of an elderly male patient with a 20‐year history of atrial fibrillation who experienced this complication during a scheduled left atrial appendage closure procedure ...

Comparison of long-term complications of using amplatzer ductal occluder and ventricular septal defect occluder for transcatheter ventricular septal defect closure

open access: yesHeart Views, 2021
Background: Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) is the most common type of congenital heart disease and perimembranous type is the commonest form of these defects. Trans-catheter management of these defects is a challenging procedure. Objectives: The purpose
