Embolization of Immediate Release Transcatheter Patch for Atrial Septal Defect Occlusion: The Causes and the Pitfalls to Avoid
03/01/2012
ABSTRACT: We report embolization of a bioabsorbable immediate-release patch for closure of atrial septal defect into left atrium with forward movement into and out of the mitral valve during each cardiac cycle. The dislodged device was...

Distal Open Sesame and Hairpin Wire Techniques to Facilitate a Chronic Total Occlusion Intervention
03/01/2012
ABSTRACT: We describe a novel distal “open sesame” and “hairpin wire” technique application in a right coronary artery (RCA) chronic total occlusion intervention. Antegrade wiring was successful in entering an acute marginal branch distal to...
