Traditional occluders for the closure of patent foramen ovale (PFO) may be associated with some potential risks, including device-related thrombus, induction of arrhythmias, residual shunt, and difficulty in puncturing atrial septum. The TriFlower device is a novel transcatheter PFO occluder that features a clamp arm design. The device success rate was 100% (n = 18) in the animal experiment. Endothelialization of the left clamp arms was completed at an early stage (30 days after implantation). The acute procedure success rate in 17 patients was 100%. At 6-month follow-up, the primary efficacy endpoint, an effective PFO closure defined as residual shunt grade 1 or lower, was met in 16 (94.1%) patients and 14 (82.4%) patients had a complete closure. There were no device-related complications. These findings indicate that the TriFlower device is feasible, safe, and effective for transcatheter PFO closure. Its potential advantages include rapid endothelialization and low left atrial interference.
用于闭合卵圆孔未闭(PFO)的传统封堵器可能存在一些潜在风险,包括与器械相关的血栓形成、诱发心律失常、残余分流以及穿刺房间隔困难。TriFlower装置是一种新型经导管PFO封堵器,其特点是采用夹臂设计。在动物实验中,该装置成功率为100%(n = 18)。左夹臂的内皮化在早期(植入后30天)完成。17例患者的急性手术成功率为100%。在6个月的随访中,主要疗效终点,即定义为残余分流1级或更低的有效PFO闭合,在16例(94.1%)患者中实现,14例(82.4%)患者实现完全闭合。没有与器械相关的并发症。这些发现表明,TriFlower装置用于经导管PFO闭合是可行、安全且有效的。其潜在优势包括快速内皮化和对左心房干扰小。
