Why the study?

What are the reasons for and outcomes of surgical removal of ASDOS-devices in adults?

Implication

ASDOS complications necessitating explantation support avoiding the device; Level 5 data leaves open need for prospective safety trials.

Key Points

To assess clinical outcomes and complication rates associated with the implantation of transvenous ASDOS devices for atrial septal defect closure.
Single-center observational review of 8 adult patients who underwent transvenous atrial septal defect occlusion system (ASDOS) implantation over a one-year period.
Patients requiring device retrieval were monitored for surgical indications, time to explant, and procedural complications.
Surgical explantation was necessary in 6 of 8 patients (75%) between 17 and 380 days after implantation.
Indications for removal included device thrombosis, residual shunts, umbrella deformation, system disconnection, and atrial perforation with hemopericardium.
All surgical explantation procedures were completed without operative complications.

Intervention

Surgical removal of ASDOS-devices

Outcome

Complications requiring explantation and surgical removal outcomessafety

The ASDOS-device was associated with an unacceptably high complication rate requiring surgical explantation, which was performed without complications.
