SJM 9-ASD-MF-030 Amplatzer Cribriform Multifenestrated Septal Occluder, 8F, 30mm, 45° Curve, Box of 01

 Description

The Amplatzer Cribriform Multifenestrated Septal Occluder is safe and effective for the closure of multifenestrated (cribriform) ASDs.1

 Multiple, or fenestrated, ASDs that require closure are not uncommon; in fact nearly 10% of patients with secundum-type ASD are found to have multifenestrated ASDs.1

 In many ways similar to the Amplatzer Septal Occluder, the Amplatzer Cribriform Occluder consists of 2 uniformly sized discs with a very small connecting waist. The waist allows the device to cover a much larger fenestrated area of the atrial septum. This occluder’s disc diameters range from 18 to 40 mm.

The Amplatzer Cribriform Occluder is effective in treating a multiple-fenestrated atrial septum.

Sizing and Device Selection

Once the most centrally located defect has been crossed, measurements should be made to determine the distance to the outer rim of the furthest fenestration and the device size selected should be 2:1 of this measurement."
