Abstract
The Occlunix® septal occluder (OSO) is a new generation double disk occluder device for catheter closure of the secundum atrial septal defect (ASD). Fifty-six consecutive patients who underwent ASD device closure with the OSO between February 2022 and April 2024 were evaluated in this single-center observational study. All procedures were done under transesophageal echocardiography guidance. The OSO was successfully deployed in all patients (technical success 100%). Fifty-five patients had complete closure of the intervened ASD after device closure (procedural success 98.2%). The sole patient with trivial intradevice shunt had complete seal of the defect at 1-month follow-up. There were no device related complications - cardiac, vascular or systemic. During the follow-up period of 32.2 ± 9.1 months, the device position was satisfactory in all, with no complications. The OSO was associated with lower procedural cost than one of the most used conventional ASD occluders used in the country.
期刊介绍：
Indian Heart Journal (IHJ) is the official peer-reviewed open access journal of Cardiological Society of India and accepts articles for publication from across the globe. The journal aims to promote high quality research and serve as a platform for dissemination of scientific information in cardiology with particular focus on South Asia. The journal aims to publish cutting edge research in the field of clinical as well as non-clinical cardiology - including cardiovascular medicine and surgery. Some of the topics covered are Heart Failure, Coronary Artery Disease, Hypertension, Interventional Cardiology, Cardiac Surgery, Valvular Heart Disease, Pulmonary Hypertension and Infective Endocarditis. IHJ open access invites original research articles, research briefs, perspective, case reports, case vignette, cardiovascular images, cardiovascular graphics, research letters, correspondence, reader forum, and interesting photographs, for publication. IHJ open access also publishes theme-based special issues and abstracts of papers presented at the annual conference of the Cardiological Society of India.
