Transcatheter device closure of atrial septal defect (ASD) in small children less than 15 kg may be associated with increased complications. Complete atrioventricular heart block (CHB) is a rare complication of ASD device closure in such a setting. We report the case of a 2-year-old girl, less than 15 kg, who underwent device closure of ASD with Amplatzer Septal Occluder and subsequently developed CHB 12 h after the procedure which resolved completely with steroid treatment on fifth day. Case report of a similar kind is rarely reported in the literature. Despite adequate postero-inferior margin CHB may still occur in small children as in our case.
对于体重不足15公斤的小儿,经导管装置闭合房间隔缺损(ASD)可能会增加并发症的发生风险。完全性房室传导阻滞(CHB)是在这种情况下ASD装置闭合的一种罕见并发症。我们报告一例体重不足15公斤的2岁女孩,她接受了使用Amplatzer房间隔封堵器进行的ASD装置闭合术,术后12小时出现CHB,在第五天经类固醇治疗后完全恢复。文献中很少报道此类病例。尽管后下缘足够,但像我们的病例一样,小儿仍可能发生CHB。
