Transcatheter PFO Device Closure

2021
Persistent PFO prevalence is estimated to be 20-25% in general population. Frequently, detected incidentally in adults. In patients with cryptogenic stroke (40% of all ischemic strokes), there is conflict between neurologist and cardiologist about the role of PFO as the underlying cause. Recent trials are in favor of PFO closure in those with high risk

Transcatheter closure of an extracardiac fontan fenestration

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1998
As the extracardiac Fontan operation evolves, a reliable method for creating and subsequently closing communications between the systemic and pulmonary venous chambers would be useful. We describe a surgical technique for creating this "fenestration" and a complementary transcatheter technique that allows safe and reliable closure of these ...

Transcatheter closure of the patent ductus arteriosus

Expert Review of Cardiovascular Therapy, 2003
Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is one of the most common congenital heart defects. Although surgery is still required in symptomatic neonates, the majority of older infants and children can undergo safe and effective transcatheter device closure on an out-patient basis.

Transcatheter Closure of Superior Sinus Venosus Defects

JACC: Cardiovascular Interventions, 2023
Superior sinus venosus defect is a communication between the right and left atrium located above the upper margin of the oval fossa, immediately inferior to the junction of the superior vena cava and the right atrium. It is systematically associated with partial anomalous pulmonary venous drainage, especially of the right upper pulmonary vein. Surgical

Transcatheter closure of patent ductus arteriosus

Expert Review of Cardiovascular Therapy, 2005
More than three decades have passed since the introduction of transcatheter devices for closure of patent ductus arteriosus, and many occluders have been made available since then. The ideal requirements of any procedure are a user-friendly technique, optimum success rate, no residual anomaly, minimal morbidity/mortality, and comparability or ...

Transcatheter closure of an atrial septal defect in a dog

Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 2005
Atrial septal defect, while rare in dogs, can result in severe clinical signs. Surgical correction of atrial septal defect requires open-heart surgery. Transcatheter closure techniques provide minimally invasive surgical alternatives.

Transcatheter closure of perimembranous ventricular septal defects

Expert Review of Cardiovascular Therapy, 2004
The isolated perimembranous ventricular septal defect is one of the most common congenital cardiac malformations. Although surgery has been performed and has a low associated risk, it still involves morbidity due to factors such as residual leaks, atrioventricular block, postpericardiotomy syndrome and arrhythmias.

Transcatheter PFO closure with a prominent Eustachian valve

Zeitschrift f�r Kardiologie, 2004
We report the successful PFO closure in a 57-year old woman with complex atrial anatomy. To avoid the risk of interfering with the occluder device due to a prominent Eustachian valve, a Helex Septal Occluder was implanted. Differential therapeutic considerations and specific device characteristics are outlined.

Closure of a coronary fistula with a transcatheter implantable coil

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Diagnosis, 1992
AbstractLarge sized coronary artery fistulas are rare and diagnosed in only 0.05% of adult catheterized patients. Only a minority of these fistulas are operated upon. We describe a percutaneous technique to close a left coronary artery fistula draining into the right atrium in a 30‐yr‐old male patient.

Cardiac perforation following transcatheter PFO closure

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, 2002
AbstractFrom December 1998 to August 2001, transcatheter closure of patent foramen ovale (PFO) with an Amplatzer PFO occluder has been successfully performed in our center in 102 patients without severe complications. We are reporting the first known case of cardiac perforation by an Amplatzer PFO occluder. Cathet Cardiovasc Intervent 2003;58:111–113. ©
