Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) has been employed successfully for guiding transcatheter device closure of secundum atrial septal defect (ASD) and patent foramen ovale (PFO). However, the use TEE requires general anesthesia. Intracardiac (ICE) can provide similar anatomical views that might replace closure. Eleven patients (eight female/three male) with ASD PFO associated strokes underwent attempts at their defects under sequential ICE guidance (six patients) alone (five patients)....
Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) has been successfully used for guiding transcatheter device closure of secundum atrial septal defect (ASD) and patent foramen ovale (PFO). However, the use TEE requires general anesthesia. Experience with intracardiac echocardiographic (ICE) guidance to close ASD PFO is limited. One hundred eleven patients (76 female/35 male) (82 patients) (29 associated a stroke underwent an attempt their defects under ICE using new AcuNav ® catheter. The median age...
Over the last several years, intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) has been employed successfully in guiding transcatheter device closure of a secundum atrial septal defect (ASD) or patent foramen ovale (PFO). Nothing is known regarding use ICE to guide catheter perimembranous ventricular (PMVSD). Twelve patients (seven female/five male) who had PMVSD (among them, three with associated communications: two an ASD and one PFO) underwent attempts at using Amplatzer membranous VSD their defects,...
Intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) is increasingly replacing transesophageal (TEE) as the primary imaging technique to guide device closure of atrial septal defects (ASD). Owing length procedure, use TEE requires general anesthesia. Investigators have reported usefulness ICE in adults and children. However, little known about children whose weight <15 kg. Therefore, this study examines guided secundum ASD kg.Nineteen patients with a median age 3.1 years (range 1.8-4.8), 13.2 kg 8.0-14.4)...
Abstract Closure of patent foramen ovale (PFO) has been proposed as an alternative to anticoagulation in patients with presumed paradoxical emboli. We report our preliminary intermediate results who underwent transcatheter PFO closure for embolism using DAS‐Angel Wings occluder or Amplatzer devices. Eighteen (8 male/10 female) catheter their PFOs at a median age 42 years. The complete rate was 67% immediately after the procedure and 100% mean follow‐up interval 2.2 ± 1.8 fluoroscopy time...
Abstract Background: Minimally invasive strategies can be expanded by combining standard surgical and interventional techniques. Methods: A longitudinal prospective study was conducted of all pediatric patients who have undergone hybrid cardiac surgery at the University Chicago Children's Hospital. Hybrid defined as combined catheter-based interventions in either one setting or planned sequential settings within a 24-hour period. Results: Between June 2000 2003, 24 were treated with...
