Favorable mid-term performance of fully biodegradable implantable device for ventricular septal defect closureCentral MessagePerspective

Objectives: To assess the mid-term safety and efficacy of transthoracic perimembranous ventricular septal defect (Pm-VSD) closure using a new biodegradable device. Implantation entailed right subaxillary minithoracotomy under transesophageal echocardiography guidance. Methods: Between October 2019 a...

description Objectives: To assess the mid-term safety and efficacy of transthoracic perimembranous ventricular septal defect (Pm-VSD) closure using a new biodegradable device. Implantation entailed right subaxillary minithoracotomy under transesophageal echocardiography guidance. Methods: Between October 2019 and January 2020, 13 patients (males, 5; mean age, 3.6 ± 2.5 years) with Pm-VSDs underwent transthoracic device closures at Zhengzhou University Central China Fuwai Hospital as described previously. Delivery pathways were established by manipulating a hollow probe from right atrium through tricuspid valve to right ventricle and then through VSDs to left ventricle, whereupon installation took place. Results: All occluder implantations were successfully executed. Mean defect size was 4.1 ± 1.0 mm, and mean device waist size was 5.2 ± 1.1 mm. One patient (7.7%) with 1.5-mm residual shunt showed complete closure at discharge. There was 1 instance of postoperative incomplete right bundle branch block, which converted to complete right bundle branch block at month 1. During patient follow-up (mean, 24.6 ± 0.8 months), no device dislocations, new residual shunts, new valvular regurgitation, or detectable atrioventricular block ensued. Conclusions: Closure of Pm-VSDs using a novel, fully biodegradable occluder in the manner described has proven safe and effective at mid-term follow-up. Long-term safety and efficacy of this device must be further corroborated in a large patient cohort going forward.
