Critical AS/MS from prior surg valve presenting in cardiogenic shock. LAVA-ECMO stabilized pt (PAP from >100 to <40), renal function recovered. Now s/p simultaneous aortic ViV with pre- fracture and mitral ViV on ECMO. Iatrogenic ASD closed w Amplatzer.

Decannulated at the end

Abordagem de leak paravalvular mitral anterolateral via transseptal anterógrada com Amplatzer Vascular Plug II. Acesso venoso femoral direito, punção transseptal precisa e uso de ETE e fluoroscopia garantem excelente resultado final.

Not very un common to have ASD occludder device shape deformity.
We have seen cobra deformitybefore.But Never seen such a shape before/after deployment ( not released )
The Figula was changed to Amplatzer of a Similar size Procedure was uneventfull

Congratulations to the Structural Heart Team at ChristianaCare to be the first hospital in Delaware to successfully implant four Amplatzer Amulet Left Atrial Appendage Closure devices (LAAO). We now able to offer LAAO closure to a wider variety of patients with varying anatomies.

🚨In this case of Cx artery - Coronary sinus….

✨1st attempt was to perform percutaneous closure with Amplatzer plug 💪🏽
Unfortunately it was a large defect 👉🏽large paraprosthetic leak
✨The patient was sent to surgical correction + AoV replacement (discussed in next posts…)😀

Amplatzer Sandwich 🥪
Reconstructed atrial septum on a 31 yo man with stroke, found to have an ASD(12x7mm) & ASA+large PFO. Successfully closed with 2 Amplatzer devices - first ASD occluder, then sandwiched with a PFO occluder 😊

◾️90-95% of Amplatzer Amulet LAA Occluder devices ☂️ are manufactured in Costa Rica (Coyol free zone, Alajuela), for the rest of the world; but this one... remained in a Costa Rican patient 🇨🇷.

62 yo w PCA infarct.TTE-PFO w hypermobile septum.TEE-2 other defects. Pointing posterio/superior we crossed 1 of these and manipulated a 35mm Amplatzer Cribiform occluder to cover all 3 defects.A hypermobile atrial septum should prompt consideration of atrial septal fenestration

Ever wonder what an in-situ Amplatzer plug and hole in a bioprosthetic valve looks like? The minimal amount of endothelialization on the plug is interesting.

Minimally invasive removal of a failed Amplatzer septal occluder in a patient also needing mitral surgery. Removal requires resection of surrounding septal tissue.

What happens when you've been asked to perform an atrial fibrillation ablation in a patient with not 1 but 2 amplatzer devices? Can't go over it...can't go under it....

With Andres Enriquez we can go through it (short 🧵):
