Transcatheter closure of ventricular septal defect with two different devices
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 30 July 2018
Abstract
Transcatheter closure of a multi-hole perimembranous ventricular septal defect with an aneurysm is challenging. Specific ventricular septal defect closure devices have been developed, but some occluders are reportedly used in an off-label manner. This report describes a child who had a multi-hole perimembranous ventricular septal defect with an aneurysm and underwent successful transcatheter closure using two different occluders: the Occlutech Duct Occluder (Occlutech, Helsingborg, Sweden) and the Amplatzer Duct Occluder II (St. Jude Medical, Saint Paul, Minnesota, United States of America). Transcatheter closure of a multi-hole perimembranous ventricular septal defect with an aneurysm using these two different devices can be performed safely by an experienced interventionist in selected patients.
