Device - Optimal anatomic adaptation
long Track
Keypoints:flexible length of connection between both anchorslow content of metalslim design especially on left sideSeparate steerability of left and right atrial anchor
Sizes:(15mm), 20mm and 25mm diameter
short Track

Device - rapid and complete endothelialisation

Procedure - the way we do it in Stuttgart Pre intervention
complete neurologic workupworkup for coagulation disorders, e.g. thrombophiliaTOE with bubble study and Valsalva
During interventionsedation on demandfull heparinisation (100 IU/kg, single dose)short term antibiotic prophylaxis
Post interventionheparinisation for 24 hours
Drugs: commencing 12h post implantationaspirin (low dose) and clopidogrel for 3monthsaspirin (low dose) for next 3 months
Follow up examinations (ecg, echo, holter-ecg, clinical):3-4 weeks (TOE for thrombus formation)6 months (TOE for complete closure)1 year
C E N T E R F O R C O N G E N I T A L H E A R T D I S E A S E S T U T T G A R T
Procedure - balloonsizing „sense or nonsense“low pressure balloon, TOE, echo contrast and abdominal pressure
pro: to get an idea of the track morphology, diameter, stiffness, lengthto exclude additional defects
con: expensive, need for longer TOE
What you can miss without echo guidance:Chiari networklarge Eustachian valveoverriding of SVCpartial anomalous pulmonary venous drainage
subdivided left atrium
We perform balloon sizing in every patient
We recommend echo guidance in every patient

The way we do it – intervention/balloonsizinglong track versus short track
waist at waist at different levels same level

Deployment of device - stepsdeployment of left atrial anchor
„free floating“ in left atriumself orientation towards the septum
deployment of right atrial „patched“ anchorindividual steerability and option for repositioning
C E N T E R F O R C O N G E N I T A L H E A R T D I S E A S E S T U T T G A R T
Deployment of device - steps locking of both parts and opening of snaretrue image of the final position before final release
final releasecutting the tether, superior conformability
