Temporary PFO closure effectively reduces embolic risk during percutaneous debulking of large tricuspid valve vegetations in high surgical risk patients.
Does temporary PFO closure during percutaneous debulking of large tricuspid valve vegetations using the AngioVac system reduce embolic risk in high-risk surgical patients with RSIE?
Temporary PFO closure during AngioVac percutaneous debulking of tricuspid vegetations represents a novel hybrid strategy to mitigate embolic risk in high-risk patients with right-sided infective endocarditis.
Absolute Event Rate: 0% vs 0%
The AngioVac system is a viable minimally invasive alternative for managing RSIE in patients at high surgical risk. Multidisciplinary collaboration enables novel hybrid strategies, such as temporary PFO closure, to reduce embolic risk.
