Comparison of the sideris and Amplatzer septal occlusion devices - 08/09/11
Abstract |
The results of transcatheter atrial septal defect (ASD) occlusion with 2 different devices (Sideris adjustable buttoned device vs Amplatzer Septal Occluder) were compared in 2 consecutive series of patients. Comparative outcomes were assessed by whether a device was implanted or not, by complications and fluoroscopy time of implantation, and by the incidence of residual shunting on transthoracic echocardiography at follow-up. The patient and defect characteristics were similar in both groups. Twenty-eight of 33 Sideris devices and 37 of 39 Amplatzer devices were implanted. The fluoroscopy time for the Amplatzer implants was 13.4 minutes (range 8 to 41) compared with 23.7 minutes (range 11 to 60.6) for the Sideris implants (p <0.001). The complete occlusion rate for the Amplatzer device was 93% compared with 44% for the Sideris device at 1 year (p <0.001). In conclusion, the Amplatzer device produces higher occlusion rates of ASDs with shorter fluoroscopy times.
