Abstract Objective: To share our experience of transcatheter device closure of secundum atrial septal defect in children and adults. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at department of Paediatric Cardiology Ch. Pervaiz Elahi Institute of Cardiology Multan from 2011 to September 2019. Patients with moderate to large ASD secundum without severe pulmonary hypertension were studied. All procedures were performed under general anaesthesia and trans-Oesophageal echo guidance. Success and safety of procedure were evaluated. Results: During study period, a total of 75 patients underwent ASD device closure. Mean age was 25 ± 1.53 (4 -54 years) and male to female ratio 1:2. Mean defect was 20.38 ± 0.58 (09 to 32 mm). Large defects (> 25 mm) were 17 (22.7 %). Significant PS (> 30 mm Hg) observed in three and valvuloplasty performed. Device size was selected on the basis of TOE measurement + 4-5 mm. Balloon sizing was performed in only three patients. Amplatzer   septal occluder was used in 80 %. Balloon assisted technique was used in 09 (12 %) patients. All the procedures were successful except two (2.7 %) where device embolized and retrieved by surgery. Transient arrhythmias were observed in 05 (6.6 %) and small pericardial effusion which was managed conservatively in one patient. There was no procedure related mortality. Conclusion: Transcatheter closure of moderate to large ASD secundum in children and adults is a safe procedure. Among the major events, device embolizaion was common. Other complications were rare including small pericardial effusion and transient arrhythmias. Continuous...

Abstract Transcatheter device closure of an atrial septal defect (ASD) may require an additional supportive technique in challenging cases. We report a 15-year-old male with moderate-sized ASD and severe scoliosis. In spite of adequate positioning of the Gore Cardioform ASD occluder, the device was pulled into the right atrium by a retrieval cord due to the acute release of strong tension between the delivery catheter and its device upon locking. This phenomenon was prevented by the use of Mullins sheath, resulting in a successful release of the device. The use of a Mullins sheath may be considered to deliver a Gore Cardioform ASD device in selected cases.

Single Coronary Artery Anomaly

Abstract Background A single right coronary artery (RCA) with the left anterior descending (LAD) and circumflex coronary arteries located in the usual anatomic position and supplied by collaterals is the rarest variant of single RCA. Case summary We report a paediatric patient with an incidental finding of single RCA Lipton type RI pattern during assessment for transcatheter device closure of an ostium secundum atrial septal defect (secASD). Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) revealed a dilated RCA, abnormal flow in the LAD, and no identifiable left main coronary artery. Diagnosis of a single RCA was confirmed with angiography. Dobutamine stress echocardiography revealed no inducible ischaemia. Transcatheter device closure of the secASD was subsequently successfully performed. Discussion TTE in paediatric patients can raise suspicion of coronary artery origin anomalies. Additional modalities, such as computed tomography and angiography, are required to comprehensively determine coronary artery anatomy. Functional assessment of ventricular function is also indicated. Coronary artery anatomy is important to delineate prior to transcatheter device closure of a secASD and should be part of the pre-procedure assessment.

Objectives: There is limited data regarding feasibility and safety of very large ASD devices deployment. Percutaneous closure of very large atrial septal defect (ASD) is a valid alternative to surgical approach.  But complications like erosion, cardiac perforation, atrioventricular block, pericardial effusion, infective endocarditis, or cardiac arrhythmias may occur following ASD device closure.  Methods: Forty four patients with very large ostium secundum ASD were studied in a tertiary medical centre. Adult patients with defect size of 38 mm or more and device size of 40 mm or more were selected for device closure. Patients having suitable anatomy, significant left to right shunt(>1.5:1) ,right ventricular volume overload and without significant pulmonary arterial hypertension were chosen for device closure. Results : There were thirty six  female patients and  eight  male patients in our study. Majority of our patients (twenty four) were in forty to fifty years age group. Device could be deployed successfully in forty two (95.5%).  Twelve patients had device size of 46 mm (27%). Eight patients had 44 mm devices(18%). Forty two millimeter devices were used in sixteen patients (36%). Eight  patients had device size of  40 mm(18%).Device embolization occurred in two patients. There were two cases of pericardial effusion and pericardiocentesis was needed in one patients. Transient complete heart block was seen in one patient. Four patients had suffered from transient and self terminating atrial arrhythmias. There was no mortality or erosion in our study. Conclusion: Percutaneous closure of very large ASD is feasible and associated with low complication rate

Abstract BACKGROUND Transcatheter device closure of secundum atrial septal defect (ASD) with valvular pulmonary stenosis (PS) under fluoroscopy and/or transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) guidance is a mature technology. However, little study has focused on whether the technology can be guided totally by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), even in children.METHODS Thirteen children with ASD combined with PS underwent transcatheter device closure totally guided by TTE at our cardiac center from March 2 016 to August 2 019. Percutaneous transcatheter pulmonary valvuloplasty was performed first and then transcatheter closure of the ASD uneventfully.RESULTS All cases were successfully treated with transcatheter balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty and closure of ASD respectively via femoral vein approach solely under TTE guidance. The mean defect size was 8.1±1.4 mm (range: 5.5-10 mm), the preoperative mean pressure gradient across pulmonary valve was 61.2±5.5 mmHg (range: 51-71 mmHg). The mean device size used was 11.1±1.9 mm (range: 8- 14 mm), the mean procedure time was 55.1±8.0 min (range: 45-71 min). There were no serious cardiovascular related complications. During the follow-up period (10 mon to 47mon), no arrhythmias device, thrombosis, residual fistulas or device frame fractures were detected. PS gradient had significant difference before and after procedure during the follow up (t=28.9, P =0.000).CONCLUSION Simultaneous transcatheter treatment for ASD complicated by PS in children under TTE guidance is an safe and effective therapeutic option.

Background: Treatment of congenital heart disease (CHD) is either surgical or interventional. Medical management is mainly symptomatic or palliative. Although surgery is the main mode of treatment but in the recent past non-surgical interventional method is replacing it because of its multiple advantages over surgical procedures. In this article, we report the success rate of the percutaneous transcatheter device closure procedures in our tertiary care hospital.Methods: The aim of this study is to review the short-term outcome of the non-surgical interventional treatment of congenital heart diseases. We included percutaneous transcatheter device closure of atrial septal defect (ASD), ventricular septal defect (VSD), patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) and ruptured sinus of valsalva aneurysm (SVA) performed at our hospital between September 2014 and November 2016.Results: We performed total 28 cases of ASD device, 3 cases of VSD device, 12 cases of PDA device, 2 cases of ruptured SVA device closures. Almost all our intervention procedures were successful except two cases of failure of ASD closure. There was no mortality and major complication related to procedures. All patients of successful interventional treatment are enjoying new life without any morbidity.Conclusions: Percutaneous transcatheter device closure for suitably selected cases of a cyanotic CHDs including ASD, VSD, PDA and ruptured SVA may be an alternative, lucrative, safe and effective option with least morbidity and mortality.
