Abstract Objectives The aim of this study is to evaluate our clinical experience using an Amplatzer septal occluder for catheter closure of a secundum atrial septal defect under transthoracic echocardiography guidance without general anaesthesia. Methods Patients eligible for transcatheter atrial septal defect closure were selected using transthoracic echocardiography. The largest defect diameter measured in different views was selected as the reference diameter. All procedures were performed…

Transthoracic echocardiographic guidance during transcatheter closure of atrial septal defects in children and adults
TLDR
Performing the procedure under TTE guidance significantly reduces procedure time and also provides increased patient’s comfort and the incidence of residual shunt did not differ significantly in two groups during follow up.
Transcatheter Closure of Large Atrial Septal Defects: Feasibility and Safety in a Large Adult and Pediatric Population
TLDR
Closure of large atrial septal defects using the Amplatzer device is safe and effective in both adults and children and Superior and posterior rim deficiencies are associated with procedural failure.
Safety and efficacy of transthoracic versus transesophageal echocardiography in transcatheter closure of atrial septal defects
  • A. Azhar

    Saudi medical journal
  • 2016
TLDR
Transthoracic echocardiography has non-inferior efficacy in device deployment with reference to TEE and superior safety features including significant reduction of procedure and fluoroscopy times and lesser use of general anesthesia.
Percutaneous Closure of Atrial Septal Defects with the MemoPart Atrial Septal Occluder: The Early-Term Results of a Multicenter Study
TLDR
The MemoPart septal occluder is a safe and effective device for ASD closure in wide ASDs and cases with more than one deficient rim, weak rims, or wide and complicated cases, it can be used carefully with sufficient experience.
Characterization of atrial septal defect by simultaneous multiplane two-dimensional echocardiography.
TLDR
The SMPI technique can reliably assess the dimensions and rim size of a secundum ASD for pre-interventional selection when compared with TEE and has thus the potential to replace TEE.
Transthoracic Echocardiography Guidance during Percutaneous Closure of Patent Foramen Ovale
TLDR
This study confirms the efficacy and safety of TTE guidance during percutaneous closure of PFO, which shortens the procedural time and obviates the need for general anesthesia or endotracheal intubation.
Feasibility, Safety, and Efficacy of Percutaneous Atrial Septal Defect Closure in Infants
Sekundum Tipi Atriyal Septal Defekt'de Tek Merkez Perkütan Kapama Sonuçlarimiz
TLDR
Percutaneous ASD closure has been performed with high success and low complication rates in patients with secundum atrial septal defect in this center.
Transthoracic echocardiography monitoring during ASD closure using an artificial hand system
TLDR
A simple and novel monitoring technique with AH-TTE provides TEE-like monitoring and may be a new alternative method for ASD closure that gives real-time stable TTE images and minimizes radiation exposure for the interventional team during fluoroscopy.
Surgical Extraction of an Embolized Atrial Septal Defect Occluder Device into Pulmonary Artery after Percutaneous Closure
TLDR
A case of the embolism of a device into the pulmonary artery after one hour of percutaneous closure in which theembolized device was surgically removed and the defect was closed with a pericardial patch.

Transesophageal echocardiographic monitoring for transcatheter closure of atrial septal defect.
TLDR
Routine TEE monitoring for transcatheter closure of ASDs is effective for evaluation of ASD before implantation of an occluder, to ensure the proper seating of the Occluder after the defect occlusion is complete.

Reliability of transthoracic echocardiography in estimating the size of Amplatzer septal occluder and guiding percutaneous closure of atrial septal defects.
TLDR
The diameter of ASD measured by TTE could accurately predict the ASO size that could successfully occlude the ASD, especially in patients with ASD < 20 mm, which is a satisfactory guiding imaging tool for ASD closure.
Transcatheter closure of atrial septal defects and patent foramen ovale under intracardiac echocardiographic guidance: Feasibility and comparison with transesophageal echocardiography
TLDR
Intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) provides unique images of the atrial communications and measurements similar to those obtained by TEE, which potentially could replace TEE as a guiding imaging tool for ASD and PFO device closure, thus eliminating the need for general anesthesia.
Transcatheter atrial septal defect closure: Modified balloon sizing technique to avoid overstretching the defect and oversizing the Amplatzer septal occluder

TLDR
Sizing an ASD by inflating a compliant balloon just until shunting is eliminated, and not until a waist is visible, results in less overstretching of the ASD and selection of a smaller ASO device, achieving similar closure rates and potentially fewer complications.
Transcatheter closure of secundum atrial septal defects using the new self-centering amplatzer septal occluder: initial human experience.
TLDR
The use of the new ASO is safe and effective in complete closure of secundum ASDs up to a diameter of 21 mm in the majority of patients and at a median follow-up interval of 6 mo, there have been no episodes of endocarditis, thromboembolism, or wire fracture.
Morphological variations of secundum‐type atrial septal defects: Feasibility for percutaneous closure using Amplatzer septal occluders
TLDR
Centrally placed defects, defects with deficient superior anterior rim, multiple defects, and perforated aneurysms of the interatrial septum are morphological variations of secundum‐type ASD suitable for percutaneous closure using ASO.
Transcatheter closure of interatrial communications with Amplatzer device: results, unfulfilled attempts and special considerations in children and adolescents.
TLDR
Amplatzer is an effective and safe device for transcatheter closure of ASD especially in pediatric patients especially in children.
Early clinical experience with use of the 'Amplatzer Septal Occluder' device for atrial septal defect.
TLDR
Device closure of oval fossa atrial septal defects with the Amplatzer Septal Occluder was performed in 26 patients with no procedure-related morbidity or mortality and all patients remain well at the present time.
