It was a rare case of a 52-year-old female with a slender PDA combined with PFO related to a transient ischemic attack that did not improve with aspirin and/or clopidogrel treatment. We closed the PDA using the ADO-II occluder and closed the PFO with the occluder, resulting in symptom resolution.

The transcatheter management of complex cardiovascular diseases has significantly evolved, offering less invasive alternatives to traditional surgical interventions. In this report we describe 2 cases of patients who developed ascending aortic pseudoaneurysms soon after coronary artery bypass grafting. With meticulous computed tomography angiography planning and with live intracardiac echography, these patients underwent successful transcatheter repair using a 6/4-mm Amplatzer Duct Occluder II (Abbott) vascular plug.

Background: Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is a congenital heart defect that requires closure to prevent complications like heart failure and pulmonary hypertension. Catheter-based closure using devices such as the Amplatzer duct occluder is the preferred method due to its minimally invasive nature. However, device embolization is a rare but recognized complication, particularly in small children or high-flow PDAs.

Coronary artery fistulas (CAFs) are rare congenital heart defects that are typically managed through interventional closure, traditional surgery, or minimally invasive hybrid closure surgery. However, treating CAFs with complex anatomy, such as tortuous vessels, presents a significant challenge, particularly in young children. We report the case of a 3.

- Transcatheter closure of paravalvular leaks (PVL) is a viable treatment for high-risk patients, yet limited research exists on its effectiveness using Amplatzer devices in Japanese patients with mitral PVL.
- A study involving 12 patients (average age 78) showed successful closure procedures were performed, with a reduction in PVL severity and no major complications reported within 30 days.
- One year later, an all-cause mortality rate of 16.7% was noted, with 25% of patients needing further intervention due to symptom recurrence, indicating the treatment's potential but also the need for monitoring.
