Infective Endocarditis Following Coil Occlusion Of Perimembranous Ventricular Septal Defect With The Nit-Occlud (R) Le Device
ANNALS OF PEDIATRIC CARDIOLOGY(2016)
Abstract
The Nitinol coil system was recently developed by "PFM" specifically for the transcatheter occlusion of ventricular septal defects (VSD). The device consists of a coil fitted with polyester fibers designated for the closure of perimembranous defects with an aneurysmal septum and some muscular VSDs. We report a case of fatal acute infective endocarditis 10 days following the procedure.
