STRUCTURAL INTERVENTIONS
Ventricular septal defects (VSDs) are the most commonly found congenital
heart defect.2 Our Amplatzer™ VSD portfolio includes occluders specifically
designed to close complex VSDs in patients considered to be too high risk for
standard surgical repair.
Choose between two Amplatzer™ devices for Muscular VSD Closure
Abbott’s 2 muscular VSD occluders allow for either a femoral or an arterial delivery.
Amplatzer™ Muscular VSD Occluder
- Is designed for muscular VSD closure in patients considered to be high risk for standard surgical repair
- Has a 7 mm waist length to accommodate the thickness of the muscular septal wall
Amplatzer™ P.I. Muscular VSD Occluder
- Is designed for the damaged muscular tissue in the septal wall of patients who have had a myocardial infarction
- Has a 10 mm waist length to accommodate the damaged tissue that can occur with septal wall rupture
The Amplatzer™ Portfolio App helps physicians determine which Amplatzer Structural Interventions device to use by suggesting applicable devices based on respective Instructions for Use.
