Abstract

The Amplatzer Septal Occluder (ASO) (AGA Medical Corp, Golden Valley, Minn) has gained wide acceptance for transcatheter closure of atrial septal defect (ASD). We conducted this study to evaluate the short-and intermediate-term results of ASD closure with the ASO and to determine the impact of deficient rim on the results. Between March 1999 and February 2003, 197 patients underwent attempted transcatheter closure of ASD with the ASO. The size of the selected device either equaled or was 1 to 2 mm larger than the stretched diameter of the defect. Transesophageal echocardiography was used to monitor the implantation procedure. One hundred and fourteen patients (58%) with a deficiency in 1 rim (<5 mm) were included as group I, and the remaining 83 patients with adequate rims comprised group II. The mean stretched diameter measured with the balloon catheter was 18.6 +/- 6.7 mm (range 7.1-37.2 mm). Deployment of the ASO was successful in 191 (97%) patients and failed in 6. There was no significant difference between the 2 groups in the success rate for ASD closure (110/114 vs 81/83). Repositioning of the device was required in 28 patients: 21 in group I and 7 in group II (21/114 vs 7/83, P >.05) The mean stretched diameter of the d...Continue Reading

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.

Aneurysm

Aneurysms are outward distensions or bulges that occurs in a weakened wall of blood vessels. Discover the latest research on aneurysms here.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.
