Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Interventional Cardiology
  • Medical Devices

Context:

  • Surgical repair is standard for atrial septal defects (ASDs), but associated with significant morbidity.
  • Transcatheter closure methods are evolving as less invasive alternatives.
  • The Sideris buttoned double-disk device represents one such transcatheter approach.

Purpose:

  • To report the initial Italian experience with the Sideris buttoned double-disk device for transcatheter ASD closure.
  • To evaluate the feasibility, effectiveness, and safety of this device in a patient cohort.

Summary:

  • 14 patients underwent transcatheter ASD occlusion with the Sideris device (March 1992-April 1993).
  • The device, introduced via small venous sheaths, achieved successful occlusion in 86% of patients.

  • While one early device dislodgement required surgery, no other complications were reported, with minimal residual shunts in some cases.

    • Impact:

    • Demonstrates the feasibility and effectiveness of the Sideris buttoned device for transcatheter ASD closure.
    • Suggests this method could become a preferred option for small ASDs, offering a less invasive alternative to surgery.
    • Highlights the potential for reduced patient morbidity compared to traditional surgical repair.
