Abstract Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Nit-Occlud Le VSD Coil versus Duct Occluders ^
for percutaneous closure of perimembranous ventricular septal defect (pmVSD).
Introduction: VSD closure using conventional pmVSD occluders has been largely abandoned
because of an unacceptable high rate of complete heart block (CHB). The advantages of Duct
Occluders and VSD Coil are supposed to reduce the drawbacks of previous devices, especially
CHB complications.
Method: Patients underwent percutaneous pmVSD closure were divided into Coil group (using
VSD Coil, n = 71) and DO group (using Duct Occluders, n = 315). Patient demographics, clinical
presentations, echocardiography measurements, procedure… More >
