Percutaneous Closure of a Patent Foramen Ovale via Left Axillary Vein Approach with the Amplatzer Cribriform Septal Occluder

Percutaneous Closure of a Patent Foramen Ovale via Left Axillary Vein Approach with the Amplatzer... Percutaneous closure of a patent foramen ovale (PFO) was successfully performed via the left axillary vein in a 52‐year‐old female with a history of left posterior cerebral artery embolic cerebrovascular accident (CVA) and inferior vena cava (IVC) interruption with a Simon Nitinol Filter precluding standard access via the common femoral vein. Utilizing a 6 French Amplatzer 180° patent ductus arteriosus delivery sheath and a 25‐mm Amplatzer Cribriform occluder, the PFO was successfully closed utilizing general anesthesia and transesophageal echocardiography guidance. This case demonstrates the advantages of the axillary vein approach over the internal jugular or hepatic vein approach in patients with anatomy precluding standard percutaneous closure. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Journal of Interventional Cardiology Wiley

Abstract

Percutaneous closure of a patent foramen ovale (PFO) was successfully performed via the left axillary vein in a 52‐year‐old female with a history of left posterior cerebral artery embolic cerebrovascular accident (CVA) and inferior vena cava (IVC) interruption with a Simon Nitinol Filter precluding standard access via the common femoral vein. Utilizing a 6 French Amplatzer 180° patent ductus arteriosus delivery sheath and a 25‐mm Amplatzer Cribriform occluder, the PFO was successfully closed utilizing general anesthesia and transesophageal echocardiography guidance. This case demonstrates the advantages of the axillary vein approach over the internal jugular or hepatic vein approach in patients with anatomy precluding standard percutaneous closure.
