Late recognition of Gore Helex atrial septal occluder fracture and migration.

ABSTRACT: Patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure is indicated in cryptogenic stroke. Percutaneous PFO closure is both feasible and highly efficacious with low incidence of device-related complications. When complications occur, they are usually discovered within 6 weeks of device deployment. We describe the case of a partially embolised and fractured Gore Helex Septal Occluder device recognised nearly 9 years after placement requiring surgical explant. <Learning objective: Device-related complications with patent foramen ovale closure devices are exceeding rare. Our case highlights the need for continued long-term device monitoring with periodic imaging given the ongoing risk for device-related complications.>.

Post-myocardial infarction ventricular septal defect closure with Gore Cardioform atrial septal defect occluder to improve tissue interactions: case report.

Project description:BackgroundGore Cardioform Atrial Septal Defect Occluder (GCA) is composed of a platinum-filled nitinol wire frame covered with expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE). This makes the device highly occlusive and resistant to residual shunts through the device, as well as conforming well to the surrounding anatomy. In defects with poor rims to hold a device for closure or where one of the 'rims' is the free wall of the left ventricle, such as in a post-infarct apical ventricular septal defect (VSD), successful closure with standard nitinol mesh devices can be unachievable.Case summaryWe present the occlusion of a post-myocardial infarction VSD with a GCA device in a critically ill patient at risk for closure failure and intravascular haemolysis with conventional nitinol mesh devices. The device conformed well to the anatomy even in the absence of an apical interventricular septum.DiscussionGCA can be used for intracardiac high-velocity shunts in selected cases where conventional devices are unsuitable due to haemolysis or poor tissue and poor rims. With growing experience using GCA for the closure of atrial septal defects, interventionists should consider the potential advantages of ePTFE material and apply them to other lesions where these could be beneficial for patients.

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

Project description: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 (ASD). She also had a medical history of distal pancreatectomy for insulinoma in her 40s and had insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, which means she had been immunocompromised. She visited our hospital with complaints of fever and lumbar pain. A computed tomography scan revealed liver abscess. In blood, urine, and drainage specimens submitted for culture testing, extended spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli was cultured in all specimens. Echocardiography showed vegetation at the atrial septal closure devices. In accordance with IE therapy, removal of the atrial septal patch and closure device was performed after antibiotic treatment for 6 weeks. Because the atrial septal patch was calcified and the two devices implanted on the patch were not well covered by neointima, bacteria could easily form vegetation. Percutaneous residual ASD closure on an atrial patch, especially for immunocompromised hosts, should be carefully considered. Learning objective In general, neointima forms and coats a closure device several years after its insertion. However, as in the present case, the closed atrial septal patch may be severely calcified and the neointima may not be sufficiently formed on the closure device, and infective endocarditis may occur at the site of implantation. In some cases, the indication for closure device implantation after atrial septal patch closure should be carefully considered.

Successful occluder removal and reocclusion of an atrial septal defect after occluder immigration to aortic arch: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundAtrial septal defect (ASD) is a common congenital heart disease, and currently, transcatheter intervention is the most common clinical treatment method. However, certain complications still occur during the percutaneous process, among which occluder loss and displacement are rare but serious complication. Although the probability of occluder loss and displacement is low, severe cases can endanger life.Case presentationHere, we report the case of a patient who underwent ASD closure in which the occluder fell off into the aortic arch, the detached occluder was recovered through catheter intervention, and the patient underwent ASD closure again.ConclusionsIn this case report, we highlight that although percutaneous closure of an ASD is regarded as a routine procedure, clinicians should remember the possibility of complications, especially occluder loss and displacement. Therefore, interventionist should carefully evaluate the situation before intervention closure, establish standardized interventional treatment procedures, and provide timely treatment follow-up.

Percutaneous closure of aortic pseudoaneurysm in a young female with atrial septal occluder.

Project description:This case report represents a novel technique for the treatment of a pseudoaneurysm of the aorta. Pseudoaneurysm of the aorta has been reported in patients post heart surgery. This case report is about a patient who had a pseudoaneurysm most probably following tuberculosis. Traditionally, the treatment of choice is surgical correction; however, in the current era, there are case reports describing the use of either stent grafts or Amplatzer occluders for occlusion of the pseudoaneurysm in high-risk surgical cases. We performed successful closure of the aortic pseudoaneurysm using atrial septal occluder. <Learning objective: Tuberculous arteritis can result in pseudoaneurysm rarely. Our patient had a large aneurysm compressing adjoining vital structures and was very high surgical risk case. This is the first case report of closure of tuberculous pseudoaneurysm by using atrial septal occluder in a young patient. In this case we have demonstrated that large pseudoaneurysms with narrow neck can be closed very safely using atrial septal occluder with immediate symptom relief and thrombosis of pseudoaneurysm at follow-up of three months.>.
