Procedural Imaging
Intraprocedural echo guidance can be performed with TEE or with intracardiac echo (ICE).
The latter obviates the need for general anesthesia but does require additional venous access.
Confirmation of the defect size and rims is most important, and balloon sizing with a compliant
sizing balloon may provide additional information on defect size if echo imaging is not adequate. During and after device deployment, careful examination of the device discs for proper
positioning, lack of prolapse from the left atrium to right atrium, and evaluation of a residual
shunt are mandatory.
Procedural Aspects
Femoral venous access is achieved; rarely does one need arterial access. An 8F or 10F ICE catheter is positioned in the mid-right atrium. The ASD is usually crossed with a balloon catheter

https://t.me/medicina_free
and guidewire or occasionally a multipurpose catheter and guidewire. After heparinization to an
activated clotting time (ACT) of 200 seconds or greater, an extra-stiff Amplatzer exchange wire
is positioned in the left or right superior pulmonary vein, and a delivery sheath—and subsequently a closure device—is advanced across the atrial septum into the left atrium. The left atrial
disc is deployed, the entire apparatus is pulled back against the atrial septum, and the right atrial
disc is deployed. After echocardiographic imaging demonstrates suitable device position (i.e., no
significant residual edge shunting and no interference with adjacent cardiac structures), the device
can be deployed.
Device sizing may be performed in several ways. Most defects are elliptical in shape. For
defects of moderate size and well-established rims, dimensions may be measured echocardiographically in two planes, usually long and short axis. Alternatively, a “stop-flow” technique
may be used with a contrast-filled balloon inflated just enough to stop shunt flow on the
echocardiogram. The orthogonal dimensions of this balloon can be then measured fluoroscopically and echocardiographically. It may be difficult to measure the exact dimensions in
larger defects or those with deficient rims using the stop-flow technique. Three-dimensional
echocardiographic imaging performed preprocedurally may be useful in these patients. An
ASO of 2 to 6 mm larger than the defect diameter is selected, usually reserving the larger
size for defects with floppier or thinner rims. The Amplatzer Cribriform Occluder has no
centering component and must be placed in a fenestration, which allows coverage of other
nearby defects; therefore the echo should be used to measure the maximum distance between
fenestrations, and a device larger than this dimension should be chosen (with the largest
device being 35 mm). The Gore Cardioform Septal Occluder device is similar in function
and could be placed in a fenestration or in a defect just over half of its diameter (i.e., 30-mm
device for 17- to 18-mm defect). The Gore Cardioform ASD Occluder is placed similarly to
the ASO.
Difficult deployment may occur in patients with deficient rims, especially the anterior or
retroaortic rim. Alterations in angulation of the device using a modified delivery catheter or
placement of the guidewire in the right upper pulmonary vein may be required. There are other
various techniques, including pulmonary vein deployment of the left atrial (LA) disc, and
balloon-assisted technique. The assistance of an experienced pediatric interventional cardiologist may be useful with larger defects. Proctoring will be necessary for the initial use of these
devices.
COMPLICATIONS
Deairing a long sheath placed in the left atrium can be problematic, but this long sheath is required for the Amplatzer devices. Air embolism usually manifests as chest pain and ST-segment
deviation from air entering the right coronary artery or, less commonly, as neurologic symptoms.
An air embolus can be avoided by careful catheter flushing and avoidance of developing an air–
fluid level in the catheter hub. This is best achieved by keeping the hub of the catheter low on
the table. A thrombus developing on the guidewire or device during implantation can be avoided
by adequate anticoagulation. Atrial fibrillation can occur during device implantation or shortly
thereafter and is usually self-limited. If spontaneous resolution does not occur, cardioversion
should be done.
Device embolization can occur with larger defects, particularly when the rims are small,
absent, or floppy. Embolization can occur either into the left atrium and arterial system or into
the pulmonary artery. It is best avoided by proper device sizing and careful inspection of
the device seating before full release after deployment. Embolized devices can be retrieved with
a snare and large-bore sheath in most cases. Typically, a sheath at least 2F larger than the

228 4—ATRIAL SEPTAL INTERVENTIONS
https://t.me/medicina_free
original delivery system will be needed, and a bevel cut into the tip may facilitate bringing the
snared device into the retrieval sheath. Device erosion is a rare complication of the Amplatzer
device. It occurs in 0.1% to 0.2% of cases, and is likely related to apposition of the LA disc
against the LA wall or aorta. There is some relation to device oversizing and deficiency of the
retroaortic rim, and careful imaging before and after deployment is warranted. Figs. 19.3 to
19.5 and Video 19.3 demonstrate ASD closure.
Follow-Up
Our current practice is an outpatient or one-night hospitalization with rhythm monitoring and
transthoracic echocardiographic imaging after device placement to evaluate device position and
to rule out pericardial effusion. Aspirin therapy and endocarditis prophylaxis are recommended
for 6 months. Patients then are typically followed up at 6 months with another limited echocardiographic examination and then annually.

Patent Foramen Ovale
INDICATIONS
Results of recent randomized trials demonstrate that closure of a patent foramen ovale (PFO)
may be indicated in selected patients with unexplained stroke (Table 19.2). Before considering
PFO device closure, common causes of stroke such as carotid stenosis, thrombotic diathesis, arterial dissection, and subclinical atrial fibrillation must be excluded. In our practice, a neurologist is
involved in shared decision-making regarding closure versus antiplatelet or anticoagulant therapy.
Fig. 19.6 demonstrates our usual approach.
Orthodeoxia is another indication for PFO device closure, as well as selected patients with
pacemaker lead debris who have planned pacemaker extraction.

DEVICES
Approved devices include the Amplatzer PFO Occluder and the Gore Cardioform Septal
Occluder (Table 19.3).
PREPROCEDURAL IMAGING
Usually a PFO will be first diagnosed by echocardiography and bubble study, with documentation of right-to-left shunting after Valsalva release. It is important to determine the exact

232 4—ATRIAL SEPTAL INTERVENTIONS
https://t.me/medicina_free
TABLE 19.3 n Approved Devices for PFO Closure

location of observed right-to-left shunting—intrapulmonary versus across the PFO. This can
be achieved by transesophageal imaging the PFO and directly observing the passage of bubbles from right to left. It is also important to judge the adequacy of the Valsalva response. This
will be sufficient if the atrial septum bows from the right to left side during Valsalva release.
In heavily sedated patients, this may not occur, and subsequent transthoracic bubble study
may demonstrate right-to-left shunting that was not revealed during the TEE because of
sedation.
PROCEDURAL IMAGING
Guidance during device closure is accomplished with either TEE or ICE. We typically use an ICE
catheter as described earlier. In addition to inspection of the PFO and adjacent atrial septum for
fenestrations, we may perform a bubble study from the right femoral vein. Fluoroscopic imaging
views are similar to that for ASD described earlier.
PROCEDURAL ASPECTS
The atrial septum can usually be crossed with a balloon catheter and soft-tipped straight
guidewire. Often the straight wire will cross the defect without difficulty. If the defect is hard
to cross, we will use a 5F multipurpose diagnostic catheter and position it against the atrial
septum within the PFO tunnel and then cross with a guidewire. ICE is useful for guiding the
catheter across the defect. Following this, the catheter is positioned into a pulmonary vein and
an exchange-length 0.0350 stiff guidewire is positioned. The delivery sheath or catheter/
device is advanced and the device positioned across the PFO. With careful echocardiographic
guidance, the LA disc is deployed, drawn back against the atrial septum, and the right atrial
disc deployed. Once the ICE/TEE confirms satisfactory device position, the device can be
released.
With regard to device sizing, we typically do not perform balloon sizing of a PFO. We take
measurements of the fossa ovalis in long- and short-axis intracardiac imaging views. We avoid placing a device larger than the distance between the aorta and the free wall in the short-axis view, where
the distance is typically smallest. For the Gore Cardioform Septal Occluder, in most smaller-bodied
individuals, a 25-mm device size is sufficient. For larger individuals and those with a very mobile
atrial septum or a large excursion of the PFO flap, we place a 30-mm device. In the patient with
orthodeoxia or those with a wide PFO diameter and redundant septum, the use of a compliant
sizing balloon, then selecting an ASO of similar diameter to that of the balloon waist should be
considered; the central waist of this device fills the defect to provide closure and prevent further
significant right-to-left shunting. Figs. 19.7 and 19.8 and Videos 19.1, 19.2, and 19.4 demonstrate
device closure of a PFO.

COMPLICATIONS
These are similar to those observed for ASD closure. Device embolization is extremely rare.
There is a risk of permanent atrial fibrillation of less than 2%.
FOLLOW-UP
This is similar to ASD device closure.
Atrial Septostomy
INDICATIONS
In adult patients, atrial septostomy may be performed as part of another procedure (i.e., mitral
valve-in-valve placement) or occasionally as palliation in patients with high right atrial pressures,
such as pulmonary hypertension with low cardiac output, or those with elevated LA pressure such
as patients with stiff LA syndrome. The latter two situations are not guideline-recommended
indications, and the use of this procedure must be carefully considered before it is employed. The
assistance of a pulmonary hypertension specialist or heart failure specialist in evaluation of the
patient is recommended.
DEVICES
We use a number of different peripheral high-pressure angioplasty balloons, typically 8 to 16 mm
in diameter.
PROCEDURAL IMAGING
We use ICE for imaging of the atrial septum in multiple views, as described earlier. This
patient population can be hemodynamically unstable, so the use of ICE avoids the discomfort of TEE and the risk of general anesthesia. The best view showing the fossa ovalis and
thin portion of the atrial septum (septum primum) is selected for our working view.
Biplane fluoroscopy can be utilized, or simply monoplane with an anteroposterior (AP)
projection.
PROCEDURAL ASPECTS
We perform a transseptal puncture as described elsewhere in this chapter. For the septostomy, one should avoid traversing a PFO, if present. After this, a moderately stiff exchangelength guidewire is placed across the septum. Utilizing ICE guidance, we place a dilating
balloon across the ASD and perform several inflations. Typically, a 14- to 16-mm-diameter
balloon will produce an ASD of approximately 6 to 8 mm. Fig. 19.9 demonstrates an atrial
septostomy.
COMPLICATIONS
If the transseptal puncture site has been determined correctly, complications will be minimal
but similar to those observed any time transseptal access is performed. Follow-up depends on
the clinical situation, but typically we do bubble study echocardiograms in follow-up to determine continued patency of the septostomy, especially if performed to create a right-to-left
shunt.
