Defect size as noted below is presented as a percentage of the aortic annulus diameter.
If left untreated, VSD can lead to pulmonary hypertension and/or congestive heart failure.2 Additionally, with unrepaired VSD, there is also an increased risk of infective endocarditis.4
Medical therapy may be used to treat symptoms associated with muscular VSD but does not address the underlying pathology. Additionally, both transcatheter and surgical closure are options for patients with moderate-to-large VSDs.
Treatment for post-myocardial infarction (MI) muscular VSD is critical.5 However, medical therapy may be insufficient and surgical closure may not be an option for high risk patients.1,6,7
A post-myocardial infarction muscular VSD is a life-threatening complication that often leads to cardiogenic shock.5 Medical treatment alone is associated with a poor prognosis of a 94% mortality rate at 30 days.6
Abbott offers two transcatheter devices for VSD closure, the Amplatzer™ Muscular VSD Occluder and the Amplatzer™ P.I. Muscular VSD Occluder. Providing a solution for:7,8

Abbott’s Amplatzer™ portfolio is a pioneer in the treatment of structural heart defects and has retained its leadership position in structural heart innovation and treatment worldwide.1
Specifically designed to close complex VSDs in patients considered to be high risk for surgical repair.2-3
Occluder devices centre and fill the defect using materials that promote occlusion and tissue in-growth.2-3
For femoral or arterial delivery. Devices are designed to be recapturable and redeployable for precise placement.

The Amplatzer™ VSD Occluder was evaluated in a prospective, non-randomised, multi-centre clinical study in 38 patients considered to be high risk for standard surgical repair of muscular VSD.2
*Patients who had a shunt ≤ 2 mm at follow-up interval as assessed by investigator.
The safety and effectiveness of the Amplatzer™ P.I. Muscular VSD Occluder were evaluated in 44 post-myocardial infarction VSD patients.3
*Patients in which device placement was attempted and a device was successfully deployed in a defect during a catheterisation at some point during the study.
†Successful closure of the defect was defined as ≤ 2-mm residual shunt, but may include shunts up to 2.9 mm. Rate is per patients seen.
‡Successful closure of the defect was defined as ≤ 2-mm residual shunt. Rate is per patients seen.
§Major adverse events were reported between Days 0 and 84. 1/3 of major adverse events occurred within 24 hours of implant (at Day 0).
