Closure of multiple fenestrations in an aneurismal atrial septum using overlapping GORE HELEX septal occluders
1Department of Paediatric Cardiology, Royal Brompton Hospital, London, United Kingdom.
Abstract:
Complex atrial septal anatomy can continue to present a challenge for transcatheter closure. We present the successful use of overlapping GORE HELEX atrial septal defect occluders in an adult patient with five distinct fenestrations in an aneurismal septum and how 3D echo can aid device positioning.

Aneurysm III: Interprofessional Care
Aneurysm management involves either conservative medical therapy or surgical intervention, depending on the size and symptoms of the aneurysm. Conservative management is generally reserved for smaller, asymptomatic aneurysms, while larger or symptomatic aneurysms often necessitate surgical repair.Conservative Medical TherapyFor small, asymptomatic aneurysms, particularly abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) less than 5.5 centimeters in diameter, conservative medical therapy is recommended. This...
Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment
Angle-closure glaucoma, or closed-angle glaucoma, is an eye condition where the iris bulges out and blocks the iridocorneal angle, resulting in a buildup of aqueous humor and increased intraocular pressure. Immediate medical attention is necessary due to the sudden onset of symptoms. The treatment for angle-closure glaucoma includes short-term and long-term approaches. Short-term treatment involves using eye drops like pilocarpine to lower intraocular pressure by increasing aqueous humor...
