Atrial septal defect (ASD) is second common congenital heart disease that often leads to adult period. Intracardiac or transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is essential for percutaneous closure of ASD using Amplatzer septal occluder. Dexmedetomidine (DEX), which is a highly selective α2-agonist, has sedative and analgesic properties without respiratory depression in the clinical dose range. We report percutaneous closure of ASD with TEE under DEX sedation.
房间隔缺损(ASD)是第二种常见的先天性心脏病,常发生于成年期。经皮使用 Amplatzer 房间隔封堵器闭合 ASD 时,需要进行心内或经食管超声心动图(TEE)检查。右美托咪定(DEX)是一种高选择性的α2-受体激动剂,在临床剂量范围内具有镇静和镇痛作用,而无呼吸抑制。我们报告了在 DEX 镇静下使用 TEE 行经皮 ASD 闭合术。
