First-in-man transradial percutaneous closure of ventricular septal defect with an Amplatzer Duct Occluder IΙ in an adult patient: a case report

ABSTRACT: Abstract

Background

Transcatheter closure of perimembranous ventricular septal defect (VSD) is a promising alternative to surgical closure but has been associated with conduction disorders. Vascular access via multiple large vessels is associated with procedure-related complications, undermining the benefit of percutaneous approaches. In this case, we present the first-in-man transcatheter closure of a perimembranous VSD with an Amplatzer Duct Occluder IΙ in an adult patient via a single transradial artery access.

Case summary

A 62-year-old female was admitted to the hospital due to gradually worsening fatigue and shortness of breath on exertion. Transoesophageal echocardiogram (TOE) revealed a VSD size of 4–6 mm and a left ventricular ampulla size of 12 mm. A percutaneou
