AMPLATZER Membranous VSD Occluder 2
Conforms to the Ventricular Anatomy
 The concave left ventricular (LV) disc is shaped to
conform with the septal wall
 The compliant outer waist allows the device to
conform to the shape of the defect
Minimizes Pressure on the Septal Tissue1
 The 3 mm waist length reduces clamp force on the
ventricular septum
Promotes Closure and Stability
 Polyester-filled waist and discs promote closure of
the defect
 Concave, oval-shaped LV disc promote stability

Relationship between VSD and
conduction system
The conduction tissue is primarily placed postero-inferiorly with reference to
membraneous VSDs, while it is placed antero-superiorly in most of the muscular VSDs
Lynch PJ. C Carl Jaffe Yale University
 The day after the procedure:
 • ECG
 • TTE
 • Chest X-ray
 Discharged on:
 • ASS 100 mg/die
 • Prophylaxis against infective endocarditis
(IE)
 1, 6, 12, 24 months, then every 2nd year
 •Symptoms?
 –dizziness, syncope, dyspnea, hemolytic
anemia ...
 •Murmurs?
 • ECG- abnormalities?
 •TTE (TEE if required):
 Residual defect? Tricuspid valve dysfuntion?
 AR? RVOT/LVOT obstruction?Device

Editor's Notes

  • #36: Bedenken beim Verschluss: 3% Periprozedurales Risiko steht 0, 5% Risiko einer bakteriellen Endokarditis entgegen!!!
  • #43: Suitable for device closure: pmVSD, mid-muscular and apical VSD
  • #44: Supracristal (or doubly committed) ventricular septal defect (VSD) is the least common type of VSD in the Western Hemisphere, accounting for approximately 5-7% of such defects in this part of the world, including in the United States.[1] The location of the supracristal VSD, with its close proximity to the aortic root, accounts for the common development of aortic insufficiency with this defect. Left-to-right shunting of blood through the defect is believed to progressively pull aortic valve tissue (especially the right coronary cusp) through a Venturi effect The crista supraventricularis can be considered synonymous with the infundibular (or conus) ventricular septum. It is the portion of the septum that separates the tricuspid and pulmonary valves. Defects above this part of the septum are referred to as supracristal defects. The term is generally reserved for defects lying immediately under the pulmonary valve. A defect, usually small, may occur within the conus septum, and, technically can be termed supracristal. Supracristal VSDs make up approximately 5-7% of VSDs in the Western Hemisphere, but they are the most common VSD in some Asian populations, making up 25% of all VSDs in patients in the Eastern Hemisphere. Alternate nomenclature systems refer to this VSD as conal, outlet, subarterial, or infundibular. Supracristal VSDs lie just beneath the pulmonary and aortic valve annuli. Because of the anatomic location and Venturi effect from VSD flow, prolapse of the right coronary cusp of the aortic valve into the defect may result in significant aortic insufficiency
