Transfemoral Occlusion of Doubly Committed Subarterial Ventricular Septal Defect Using the Amplatzer Duct Occluder-II in Children.

ABSTRACT:

Backgrounds

The traditional treatment of doubly committed subarterial ventricular septal defect (dcVSD) is open-heart surgery. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and outcome of transcatheter closure of small dcVSD using Amplatzer duct occluder-II (ADO-II) in children.

Methods

Between January 2016 and April 2021, 24 children (17 male and 7 female patients) with small dcVSD who received transfemoral closure with ADO-II were enrolled retrospectively. All of their available clinical and follow-up data were evaluated.

Results

The patients' median age was 3.2 years (1.6-12.6 years, 4.2 ± 3.1 years) and body weight was 13.3 kg (10.0-38.5 kg, 16.5 ± 7.7 kg). Left ventricular angiography showed that the median dcVSD size was 2.0 mm (1.5-3.5 mm, 2.1 ± 0.6 mm)
