Imaging the IVC Margin

•Sub-xiphoid views are also very useful provided there

are good acoustic windows

•Imaging through TEE requires special maneuvers

Retroflexion moves probe away from heart and eliminates the parallel

orientation of the ultrasound beams to the atrial septum

Choosing size of the device

• Balloon stretched diameter

– Unrealistic for large ASDs with minimal rims?

• Largest dimension on TEE

– + 2mm to be safe

– ± 1mm in small children

– + 4 mm • Deficient margins

• Floppy

• Adjacent defects

Acceptable limits of device sizing

Children:

8-10 Kg: < 15 mm

10-15 Kg: < 20 mm

15-25 Kg: < 28-30 mm

Adults:

40-46 mm (Kannan BRJ, Anil SR, Sivakumar K, Kumar RK, Transcatheter closure of the very

large atrial septal defects using the Amplatzer septal occluder, Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions 2003;59:522-527)

Device Deployment: Usual Sequence

Page 18: Percutaneous Closure of ASDs with Relatively Deficient ...€¦ · defects with deficient inferior vena cava rim under transesophageal echo guidance, Cathet Cardiovasc. Interven.

ASD with deficient rims: deployment not likely to be straightforward?

Poor alignment of assembly vs. plane of the defect

Page 19: Percutaneous Closure of ASDs with Relatively Deficient ...€¦ · defects with deficient inferior vena cava rim under transesophageal echo guidance, Cathet Cardiovasc. Interven.

Device Deployment Techniques to Ensure Rim Capture

Right atrial disc should form to the right of the septal plane before the left atrial disc can slip out

Rapid release

Hold on to the LA disc until RA disc is positioned

Page 20: Percutaneous Closure of ASDs with Relatively Deficient ...€¦ · defects with deficient inferior vena cava rim under transesophageal echo guidance, Cathet Cardiovasc. Interven.

What to do when deployment is not straightforward?

Rapid deployment using aortic root support

(Deficient aortic root margin)

Making the sheath “coaxial to the defect

•Hausdorf

•Fu-star

•Cutting away a part of the sheath (Latson technique)
