Transcatheter closure of congenital Gerbode‐type ventricular septal defect using the new multifunctional occluder device

Abstract Device occlusion of perimembranous ventricular septal defect is gaining popularity with the emergence of newer, softer occluders and improved technical know-how. We report a 26-year-old lady with a moderate size perimembranous ventricular septal defect who had a new onset of bundle branch block shortly after device closure. The patient subsequently developed a complete atrio-ventricular heart block.

Abstract Ductus arteriosus is a physiological structure if not closed after birth, may lead to many complications. Today, trans-catheter closure of patent ductus arteriosus with Occluder devices is the preferred method. Surgical ligation is used only in certain cases such as large symptomatic patent ductus arteriosus in very small infants and premature babies; unfavourable structure of the duct or economic considerations. In this article, we described haemodynamic and morphological characteristics of five patients with large patent ductus arteriosus which were occluded with Amplatzer device. From 23 January, 2010 to 31 July, 2018, five patients referred to our clinic with large patent ductus arteriosus and pulmonary arterial hypertension for further evaluation. After assessing them with various diagnostic methods, we decided to close defect with ventricular septal defect Occluder device. Patients aged 21–44 years and one of them was male. Ductus closure was successfully done with ventricular septal defect Occluder device. Closure was successful for all of them but in one case, whose device was embolized to pulmonary artery after 24 hr and he underwent surgery. Trans-catheter closure of large patent ductus arteriosus in adult patients with pulmonary hypertension is feasible. Despite the fact that complications may occur even with the most experienced hands, the ‘double disk’ Amplatzer ventricular septal defect muscular Occluder could be advantageous in this setting.
