| Popis: | Transcatheter closure of VSD has been successful in defects of the muscular septum distant from the aortic and mitral valve apparatus. Attempts to close subaortic VSDs have been largely unsuccessful because of device-related aortic insufficiency. The NitOcclud device is a Nitinol spiral coil device which has been evaluated in animals with subaortic VSD. Results of the animal study are promising, and the device has also been implanted in a few humans. This paper describes the device, the implant technique in subaortic VSD, and the results of animal and human implants. |
