A case report: Amplatzer occluder device closure of an iatrogenic ventricular septal defect following radiofrequency ablation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Interventricular septal perforation is an extremely rare complication of radiofrequency ablation (RFA), with an incidence of 1%. The most common mechanism is a 'steam pop', which can be described as 'mini-explosions' of gas bubbles. Data for percutaneous repair of cardiac perforations due to RFA are limited.

Case summary

A 78-year-old female patient was referred to our department for the treatment of two iatrogenic ventricular septal defects (VSDs) following radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of premature ventricular contractions. One week post-ablation, chest pain and progressive dyspnoea occurred. Transthoracic echocardiography detected a VSD, diameter 10 mm. Hence, iatrogenic, RFA-related myocardial injury was considered the most likely cause of VSD, and the patient was referred to our tertiary care centre for surgical repair. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging demonstrated border-zone oedema of the VSD only and confirmed the absence of necrotic tissue boundaries, and the patient was deemed suitable for percutaneous device closure. Laevocardiography identified an additional, smaller muscular defect that cannot be explained by analysing the Carto-Map. Both defects could be successfully closed percutaneously using two Amplatzer VSD occluder devices.

Discussion

In conclusion, this case demonstrates a successful percutaneous closure of a VSD resulting from RFA using an Amplatzer septal occluder device. CMR might improve tissue characterization of the VSD borders and support the decision if to opt for interventional or surgical closure.

Transcatheter closure of complex iatrogenic ventricular septal defect: a case report.

Project description:Background:Iatrogenic membranous ventricular septal defects (VSDs) are rare complications of cardiothoracic surgery, such as septal myectomy for hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM). Transcatheter closure is considered an appealing alternative to surgery, given the increased mortality associated with repeated surgical procedures, but reports are extremely limited. Case summary:We herein report the case of a 63-year-old woman with HOCM who underwent successful percutaneous closure of an iatrogenic VSD after septal myectomy. Two percutaneous techniques are discussed, namely the 'muscular anchoring' and the 'buddy wire delivery', aimed at increasing support and providing stability to the system during percutaneous intervention. Discussion:Transcatheter closure represents an attractive minimally invasive approach for the management of symptomatic iatrogenic VSDs. The new techniques described could help operators to cross tortuous and tunnelled defects and to deploy closure devices in case of complex VSD anatomy.

Echocardiographic Classification of Perimembranous Ventricular Septal Defect Guides Selection of the Occluder Design for Their Transcatheter Device Closure.

Project description:BackgroundPerimembranous ventricular septal defects (VSDs) has proximate relation to the aortic and tricuspid valves as well as the conduction tissues. Transcatheter closure utilizes various off-label device designs.MethodsPerimembranous VSD without aortic margin were classified as group A, with thick aortic margin as group B, with membranous septal aneurysm as group C and defects restricted by tricuspid valve attachments as group D. The proposed ideal design was asymmetric device in group A; duct occluder I (ADOI) and muscular ventricular septal occluder (MVSO) in group B; thin profile duct occluder II (ADOII) in group C and ADOI in group D. Device was 0-2 mm larger than the defect.ResultsEighty patients with VSD measuring 6.83 ± 2.87mm underwent successful closure. Device was retrieved before release in one group A and one group C patient due to aortic regurgitation. Asymmetric device was used in 16 group A defects. Among group B defects, ADOI was used in 5, ADOII in 5, MVSO in one and asymmetric device in 3. Group C defects were closed with ADOI in 7, ADOII in 10 and asymmetric device in 3. Three patients with multiple exits had 2 ADOII devices. Group D defects were closed using ADOI in 20 and ADOII in 10 patients. There was no late aortic regurgitation or heart block on a follow-up exceeding 7 years.ConclusionsThis echocardiographic classification helps device selection in every single patient. While asymmetric device is uniquely suited for group A defects, different designs are appropriate in the other groups.

First-in-man transradial percutaneous closure of ventricular septal defect with an Amplatzer Duct Occluder IΙ in an adult patient: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundTranscatheter closure of perimembranous ventricular septal defect (VSD) is a promising alternative to surgical closure but has been associated with conduction disorders. Vascular access via multiple large vessels is associated with procedure-related complications, undermining the benefit of percutaneous approaches. In this case, we present the first-in-man transcatheter closure of a perimembranous VSD with an Amplatzer Duct Occluder IΙ in an adult patient via a single transradial artery access.Case summaryA 62-year-old female was admitted to the hospital due to gradually worsening fatigue and shortness of breath on exertion. Transoesophageal echocardiogram (TOE) revealed a VSD size of 4-6 mm and a left ventricular ampulla size of 12 mm. A percutaneous VSD closure with the Amplatzer Duct Occluder II was decided. The angiography and TOE showed successful device placement and excellent procedural results. The patient was discharged home the next day after the procedure. The patient did not report any post-procedural complications during the 8-month follow-up. Echocardiographic assessment showed a gradual decrease in left ventricular dimensions.DiscussionTranscatheter closure of perimembranous VSD is a promising alternative to surgical closure, but it is not free of complications. Traditional VSD occluders rely on multivessel access and complex formation of arteriovenous loops. In this case, we report the feasibility of perimembranous VSD closure with an Amplatzer Duct Occluder IΙ via a single radial artery access in an adult patient. This approach is a much simpler technique with several potential advantages and should be considered in selected adult patients and in similar clinical scenarios.

Surgical repair of tricuspid valve leaflet tear following percutaneous closure of perimembranous ventricular septal defect using Amplatzer duct occluder I: Report of two cases.

Project description:Tricuspid valve (TV) injury following transcatheter closure of perimembranous ventricular septal defect (PMVSD) with Amplatzer ductal occluder I (ADO I), requiring surgical repair, is rare. We report two cases of TV tear involving the anterior and septal leaflets following PMVSD closure using ADO I. In both the patients, the subvalvular apparatus remained unaffected. The patients presented with severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) 6 weeks and 3 months following the device closure. They underwent surgical repair with patch augmentation of the TV leaflets. Postoperatively, both are asymptomatic with a mild residual TR.

Post-myocardial infarction ventricular septal defect closure with Gore Cardioform atrial septal defect occluder to improve tissue interactions: case report.

Project description:BackgroundGore Cardioform Atrial Septal Defect Occluder (GCA) is composed of a platinum-filled nitinol wire frame covered with expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE). This makes the device highly occlusive and resistant to residual shunts through the device, as well as conforming well to the surrounding anatomy. In defects with poor rims to hold a device for closure or where one of the 'rims' is the free wall of the left ventricle, such as in a post-infarct apical ventricular septal defect (VSD), successful closure with standard nitinol mesh devices can be unachievable.Case summaryWe present the occlusion of a post-myocardial infarction VSD with a GCA device in a critically ill patient at risk for closure failure and intravascular haemolysis with conventional nitinol mesh devices. The device conformed well to the anatomy even in the absence of an apical interventricular septum.DiscussionGCA can be used for intracardiac high-velocity shunts in selected cases where conventional devices are unsuitable due to haemolysis or poor tissue and poor rims. With growing experience using GCA for the closure of atrial septal defects, interventionists should consider the potential advantages of ePTFE material and apply them to other lesions where these could be beneficial for patients.
