The ŌNŌ retrieval system successfully removed an embolized GORE CARDIOFORM Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) Occluder percutaneously. This dedicated system offers a safe alternative to surgery for complex device retrievals.
Area of Science:
- Cardiovascular Interventions
- Medical Device Retrieval
Background:
- Embolization of large atrial septal defect (ASD) occluders presents a significant clinical challenge.
- Traditional retrieval methods carry risks of complications such as valve injury and vascular dissection.
