AbstractWe report on a 37-year-old woman presenting with atrial arrhythmias after catheter closure of a secundum atrial septal defect with an Amplatzer septal occluder device. Eletrophysiological studies suggested that the arrhythmia originated from the left atrium, from an area near the device. Transseptal puncture was successfully performed under transoesophageal guidance and the arrhythmia was successfully ablated. This case showed that transseptal puncture can be safely performed in the presence of an Amplatzer septal occluder device under transoesophageal echocardiography guidance and we speculate that the device may have created the substrate for the arrhythmia.

AbstractDevice closure of oval fossa atrial scptal defects with the Amplatzer Septal Occluder was performed in 26 patients ranging in age from 0.89 to 60.44 years. In eight additional patients no device implant was performed because of the presence of multiple defects or because the defect was of a size unsuitable for closure with the devices currently available. The strectched diameter of the defects that were closed ranged from 4 to 23 mm (mean 14±5.4 mm) and device sizes ranged from 4 to 24 mm. Two devices were unstable, of which one embolized to the right atrium after release. Both devices were retrived at the same procedure. One of these parients subsequently underwent a successful device closure of his defect using a larger (24-mm) device. Three patients had multiple defects, which were successfully closed with a single device. At 1-month follow-up 23/26 (88%) and at 3-month follow-up 22/24 (92%) patients had complete closure of their defects, while two had residual shunts. One further patient who had complete closure of his defect at 1-month post-implant had his device removed and his atrial septal defect patched surgically 8 weeks after device closure. This was done as a result of the development of a vegetation affecting the device after an episode of septicaemia, which was not relate to the cardiac problems. There was no procedure-related morbidty or martality and all patients remain well at the present time.

Cobrahead deformity is a known (but uncommon) phenomenon associated with the left atrial disc of the Amplatzer or Occlutech Figulla septal occluder device during percutaneous transcatheter atrial septal defect closure. It has also been postulated that the right atrial disc of the Amplatzer septal occluder device might upon occasion exhibit the cobrahead malformation. To date, only one case report concerning the cobrahead deformity in the right atrial disc of an Amplatzer septal occluder has been published, if we discount a report published as a letter to the manufacturer. Here we present the first report (known to us) of a cobrahead deformity in the right atrial disc of an Occlutech Figulla Flex II atrial septal defect occluder device during transcatheter closure of a complex atrial septal defect.
