Value of Intracardiac Echocardiography in the Interventional Closure of Patent Foramen Ovale with Adjacent Atrial Septal Defect
Journal of interventional cardiology(2024)
摘要
Objective. This study aimed to investigate the application value of intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) in transcatheter closure of a patent foramen ovale (PFO) combined with an adjacent atrial septal defect (ASD). Methods. This retrospective study included five patients with PFO combined with adjacent ASD who underwent transcatheter closure and were admitted to the Zhongshan Hospital of Fudan University from June to September 2023. General conditions, ultrasound and ICE findings, and operative data were recorded and followed up for 2–6 months. Results. Of the five patients, two and three had embolic stroke of undetermined source and migraine, respectively, aged 45.6 ± 12.0 years. All patients underwent successful transcatheter closure via the PFO tunnel under the guidance of ICE, without complications or new stroke, and showed significantly reduced migraine at the follow-up. Conclusion. In patients with PFO combined with adjacent ASD, closure of a PFO tunnel could be successfully achieved under ICE guidance; its clinical efficacy was accurate and worthy of promotion.
