Transcatheter closure of large pulmonary arteriovenous fistula including pulmonary artery to left atrial fistula with Amplatzer septal occluder

Abstract: We conclude that, using the new criteria for device size selection and modified technique of implantation, very large PAVFs including PA to LA fistula can be closed safely, effectively and nonsurgically with ASO.

“…We have chosen the Amplatzer septal device to close Fontan fenestration because of our experience in implantation technique in closing secundum atrial septal defect and large pulmonary venous fistula [16], its availability in different sizes, its stability offered by both discs, and its easy retrieval and repositioning capability before final release [17]. In our experience and that of others, spontaneous closure of the fenestration occurs in the majority of Fontan patients (77.6%), while transcatheter closure is required only in the minority (22.4%) [4].…”

“…Examples include ascending aortic pseudoaneurysms, 9 aortoatrial and aortocaval fistulas, 10-12 pulmonary arteriovenous malformations, 13 congenital portal vein fistulas, 14,15 and closure of a persistent left superior vena cava connected to the left atrium. 16 Many of these cases were undertaken because the open repair was either very morbid or frankly contraindicated for the patient's condition.…”

“…[21,22] Transkateter yaklaşımda sıklıkla kullanılan basit 'coil' tipi tıkayıcılarla rekanalizasyon, migrasyon, trombüs gibi sorunlar bildirilmiştir. [23] Buna karşılık bu yöntem ile akciğer parenkiminin korunması, torakotomiye bağlı komplikasyon riskinden uzaklaşma, genel anestezi ve cerrahi insizyon gerektirmemesi, iyileşme sürecinin kısa ve hızlı olması gibi önemli avantajları sebebi ile uygun vakalarda ilk tercih edilen yöntem olmuştur. [24] Ancak travma sonrası oluşan fistüllerde defektin genellikle yüksek basınçlı ve geniş çaplı olması nedeni ile 'coil' ile kapatılma yerine cerrahi tedavinin tercih edildiği görülmektedir.…”

“…[24] Bu yöntemin daha sık rastlanan doğumsal PAVF tedavisi ile ilgili iyi tecrübeler mevcuttur. [23,24,26] Bu olguda da bu tip bir aparat kullanılarak hastanın defekti kapatılmış ve hasta noninvaziv bir yöntemle akciğer parenkim kaybı olmaksızın sağlığına kavuşmuştur. Bu olgu aynı zamanda penetran toraks travması sonrası gelişen fistül kapatılmasında ülkemizde septal tıkayıcının kullanıldığı ilk olgudur.…”
