  The Occluder Device for Transcatheter Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) Closure with Reserved Interatrial Septal Puncture Area
  Author(s): Haibin Jiang*
  
  Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) is a congenital heart defect characterized by a small opening between the right and left atria, which persists after birth. This condition is often asymptomatic but has been associated with paradoxical embolism, cryptogenic stroke and migraines. Transcatheter PFO closure is a minimally invasive treatment that involves placing an occluder device to seal the defect. However, traditional occluder devices can hinder future interventions requiring access through the interatrial septum, such as atrial fibrillation ablation or left atrial appendage occlusion. This challenge has led to the development of occluder devices with a reserved interatrial septal puncture area, facilitating safe and effective transseptal puncture in the event of future procedures. This article focuses on the design and clinical outcomes of an innovative occluder device for PFO closure that .. View More»
