Transcatheter closure of ventricular septal defect with Occlutech Duct Occluder

Cardiol Young. 2018 Apr;28(4):598-601. doi: 10.1017/S1047951117002463.

Abstract

Patent ductus arteriosus occluders are used for transcatheter closure of ventricular septal defects, as well as for closure of patent ductus arteriosus. The Occlutech Duct Occluder is a newly introduced device for transcatheter closure of patent ductus arteriosus. Here, we present a case in which the Occlutech Duct Occluder was successfully used on a patient for the closure of a perimembraneous ventricular septal defect.

Keywords: Occlutech Duct Occluder; Perimembraneous ventricular septal defect; transcatheter closure.
