Abstract
The Gore® Cardioform ASD Occluder (GCA) was recently introduced for the transcatheter closure of atrial septal defects in clinical practice. Properly aligning the GCA device with the atrial septum is sometimes challenging, and the tip of the device delivery system is sometimes hand-shaped for better alignment. In this report, we present a complete fracture of GCA delivery system during deployment when using the bending technique. This phenomenon should be considered when using this device.
期刊介绍:
Cardiovascular Revascularization Medicine (CRM) is an international and multidisciplinary journal that publishes original laboratory and clinical investigations related to revascularization therapies in cardiovascular medicine. Cardiovascular Revascularization Medicine publishes articles related to preclinical work and molecular interventions, including angiogenesis, cell therapy, pharmacological interventions, restenosis management, and prevention, including experiments conducted in human subjects, in laboratory animals, and in vitro. Specific areas of interest include percutaneous angioplasty in coronary and peripheral arteries, intervention in structural heart disease, cardiovascular surgery, etc.
