Structured PICO

Is percutaneous closure of PFO and ASD with Occlutech Figulla devices safe and effective?

Population

143 patients (46.9% male, mean age 39.3 ± 12.2 years) undergoing transcatheter patent foramen ovale (PFO, n = 85) and secundum type atrial septal defect (ASD, n = 58) closure

Intervention

Percutaneous closure with Occlutech Figulla devices

Outcome

Safety and efficacy (successful implantation, periprocedural complications, residual shunts, and long-term complications)safety

Percutaneous closure of PFO and secundum ASD using the Occlutech Figulla device is safe, feasible, and effective with a 100% implantation success rate and low complication rates.
