  • Title: Transcatheter closure of ventricular septal defect with two different devices.
    Author: Atik SU, Saltik L.
    Journal: Cardiol Young; 2018 Nov; 28(11):1364-1366. PubMed ID: 30058512.
    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.
