Objectives
What types of VSD are amenable for catheter
closure at this time
How to select and screen patients who are
amenable for catheter closure of VSD
Concerns/Complications
Present our limited experience with the use of
VSD coil in the Philippines
Ventricular Septal Defect
Most common congenital cardiac
malformation
Surgery is the standard method for closure of
VSD
Mortality rate in high volume centers is less than
0.6% to 1.8%
Complication < 1%
Complete heart block is less than 1%
VSD Closure with PFM VSD Coils
Transcatheter closure of VSD
(TCCVSD)
Remains to be the most challenging
interventional procedure in CHD
Various devices have been used with a high
degree of effectiveness to primarily close
muscular and perimembranous VSD
Advantages of TCC of VSD
Avoids median sternotomy scar
Avoids cardiopulmonary bypass
Shorter hospital stay
Shorter recovery period
Indication for Closure of VSD
Hemodynamically significant Qp:Qs > 1.5
LA or LV enlargement
Cardiomegaly on CXR
Failure to Thrive
Previous episode of Infective Endocarditis
Soft Indications for VSD
Developed since catheter closure
Better psychosocial impact on patient
Avoid the inherent problems related to
stigma of having a heart defect
Employability
Health Insurance
Heavy vehicle license
Sports participation (as a professional)
Concerns/Complications
Complexity of procedure
Steep Learning Curve
Applicability in selected group
Proximity of aortic and tricuspid valve
Conduction system (arrhythmias, heart block)
Residual shunt with risk of infective endocarditis
Mechanical haemolysis
Embolization
Proper selection of patients
is the KEY.
What Is Not Amenable For TCC
AV Canal Type (Inlet)
Large Perimembranous VSD(Unrestrictive)
Subpulmonic VSD
Multiple (Swiss Cheese) VSDs
VSD as a component of a more complex lesion
Amplatzer Muscular VSD occluder
Muscular VSD Device
Anterior Muscular VSD device
Amplatzer PM VSD Occluder
(AVSO)
First device specifically designed for membranous
VSD
First reported by Hijazi et al 2002 and Thanopoulos
in 2003
Perimembranous VSD device
Amplatzer PM VSD occluder (AVSO)
Became the most popular device to close VSDs
worldwide with good short and medium term
outcome
Occurrence of complete heart block in an
unpredictable manner even after years postimplantation has currently tempered the
enthusiasm of the interventional community
(Incidence 1-5%)
Heart Block of AVSO
Rim of the VSD closed by AVSO remains
under continuous pressure due to the
stenting philosophy of this device
This can cause trauma to the neighboring
conduction system
What Type of Can Be Safely
Occluded
Muscular VSD
Midmuscular/Apical
Perimembranous VSD
Restrictive
Ventricular Septal Aneurysm
VSD rim > 3mm from aortic Valve
Defect is <6mm from RV side
Presents like a “FUNNEL”
The PFM VSD Coil
• Novel attachment mechanism
• Stiff distal loops, covered
with polyester filaments
5.5F delivery catheter; Distal Coil Diameter: 8,10,12,14 mm

VSD Coil (Nit-Occlud Le VSD
Coil)
Conical-shaped nitinol coil
More flexible, softer and conforms to the shape
of VSD
Less traumatic
Used for:
Perimembranous VSD with aneurysmal pouch and
muscular VSD

death

PDA device to close VSDs?
Perimembranous VSD which are “conical”
(like a PDA type A)
Distance from the aortic valve is >4mm

Summary
TCC of VSD is a complex interventional procedure
that can be performed effectively and safely in well
selected patients
Muscular VSDs can still be closed by Amplatzer
devices
VSD coils are safe in aneurysmatic OR conical
perimembranous VSDs and muscular VSD which
have a distance from the AV node
Majority of the perimembranous VSDs should be
closed by surgery at this time until a better device
can be made that will not produce heart block at a
higher rate
Long-term follow-up is important
