Experiência inicial com a nova prótese CARDIA UltraseptTM para fechamento do forame oval patente: ainda uma boa opção

Abstract: background: The purpose of this study was to report an early experience with the use of the new CARDIA Ultrasept TM device for the percutaneous occlusion of patent foramen ovales. Methods: Patients of any age or weight with a patent foramen ovale and previous embolic events or migraines with poor clinical control were selected by transesophageal echocardiography.

“…Hearts whose atriums had been removed for visualization of the valve plan or the atriums had not been dissected were excluded. The study was divided into three stages, namely: (1) screening and selection of human hearts; (2) investigation of the presence of PFO in selected human hearts; and (3) morphometry of PFO. After screening, 40 cadaveric human hearts were selected to study the incidence and morphometry of the PFO.…”
