The Amplatzer Septal
Occluder, CE Marked since 1998, is intended for patients with an ASD in the
secundum position or patients who have undergone a fenestrated Fontan procedure
and who now require closure of the fenestration. The Amplatzer Septal
Occluder has a wide connecting waist that centers the device and fills the ASD.
This occluder—offering the widest range of ASD sizes—can treat defects from 3
mm to 38 mm.
The Amplatzer Cribriform
Multifenestrated Septal Occluder is safe and effective for the closure of
multifenestrated (cribriform) ASDs.1
Multiple, or fenestrated,
ASDs that require closure are not uncommon; in fact nearly 10% of patients with
secundum-type ASD are found to have multifenestrated ASDs.1
In many ways similar to
the Amplatzer Septal Occluder, the Amplatzer Cribriform Occluder consists of 2
uniformly sized discs with a very small connecting waist. The waist allows the
device to cover a much larger fenestrated area of the atrial septum. This
occluder’s disc diameters range from 18 to 40 mm.
The Amplatzer Cribriform
Occluder is effective in treating a multiple-fenestrated atrial septum.
