Transcatheter Closure of Postinfarct VSD With the Amplatzer PIVSD Occluder: Results of a US Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

A postinfarct ventricular septal defect (PIVSD) is associated with high mortality and morbidity, particularly in patients with hemodynamic instability who are not suitable candidates for surgical repair. The Amplatzer PIVSD Occluder (Abbott) is indicated for transcatheter PIVSD closure in patients who are not satisfactory candidates for surgical repair. The objective of this study was to evaluate associated clinical outcomes.

Methods

A total of 131 patients underwent transcatheter PIVSD closure using the Amplatzer PIVSD Occluder between 2011 and 2021 as part of a postapproval, multicenter, retrospective, observational study. The patients were analyzed in 2 cohorts. Cohort 1 included 99 patients (age 68.6 ± 11.9 years) implanted from 2011 to 2016 and evaluated tech
