ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The data on the use of Gore Cardioform Septal Occluder (GCA; W. L. Gore and Associates, Inc.) for atrial septal defect (ASD) with deficient rims is limited.METHODS:
All patients evaluated by transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) for ASD occlusion were included. TEE planes at 35°, 0°, and 90° were assessed for anterior-superior (AS) and posterior (P), anterior-inferior (AI) and posterior-superior (PS), as well as superior (S) and inferior (I) rims. ASD size >20 mm, and rims less than 5 mm were defined as large and deficient, respectively. We included patients who had a procedural failure along with the patients in whom the procedure was not attempted after echocardiogram in the unsuccessful group.RESULTS:
In 148 patients, the median weight, age, and ASD size were 36 kg (range, 8-60 kg), 11.8 years (range, 1-60 years), and 14.2 ± 8.28 mm, respectively. One or more deficient rims were noted in 112 of 148 (75.7%) 99 (67%) AS, 36 (24%) P, 17 (11%) AI, 30 (20%) PS, 26 (18%) S, and 33 (22%) I. ASD closure was performed in 115 (78%) patients. The procedure was successful in 111 (96.5%) patients with procedural failure in 4 (3.4%) patients. Multiple deficient rims were associated with reduced procedural success (OR 0.36, 95% CI, 0.25-0.56). On multivariate analysis deficient P, PS, and I rims were associated with an unsuccessful group (P = .001, .046, and .005, respectively). Complications included 1 device embolization, 1 vascular injury, and 5 arrhythmias.CONCLUSIONS:
Transcatheter closure of ASDs with deficient rims is feasible using GCA. Large ASDs with deficient P, PS, and I rims were associated with unsuccessful closure. Risk stratification and comprehensive evaluation of ASD rims is vital for the use of GCA.Palavras-chave
