Septal occluder
Septal Occluder is a percutaneous, transcatheter, atrial septal defect closure device intended for the occlusion of atrial septal defects (ASD).
⠀
Patients indicated for ASD closure have echocardiographic evidence of ostium secundum atrial septal defect and clinical evidence of right ventricular volume overload.
⠀
The AmplatzerTM Septal Occluder is intended for patients with an ASD in the secundum position or patients who have undergone a fenestrated Fontan procedure and who now require closure of the fenestration.
⠀
The AmplatzerTM Septal Occluder has a wide connecting waist that centers the device and fills the ASD (can treat defects from 3 mm to 38 mm).
⠀
POTENTIAL ADVERSE EVENTS: potential adverse events may occur during or after a procedure placing this device may include, but are not limited to:
⠀
Air embolus, Allergic dye reaction, Anesthesia reactions, Apnea, Arrhythmia, Cardiac tamponade, Death, Embolization, Fever, Hypertension, hypotension, Infection including endocarditis, Need for surgery, Pericardial effusion, Perforation of vessel or myocardium, Stroke, Tissue erosion, Thrombus formation on discs, Valvular regurgitation.
