Procedure Steps

Pre-op: TTE/TEE + cardiac catheterization if needed

General anesthesia + TEE guidance

Femoral venous access

Catheter advancement across the defect

Device sizing based on balloon sizing or 3D TEE

Amplatzer/domestic occluder deployment across septum

TEE confirmation: device position stable, no residual shunt

Release device + hemostasis

What is Transcatheter ASD/VSD Closure?

A minimally invasive catheter-based procedure that implants a disc-shaped occluder device across an atrial or ventricular septal defect, closing the abnormal communication without open-heart surgery.

Why China?

Domestic occluders: Chinese-made devices at 1/3 of Amplatzer price
Cost: $7,500-$13,000 vs. $25,000-$50,000 in the US
Volume: Among the world's highest congenital intervention volumes

Who is a candidate?

Secundum ASD with adequate rims (≥5mm except aortic)
Muscular or perimembranous VSD (selected cases)
Hemodynamically significant shunt (Qp:Qs >1.5)

Outcomes

Technical success: >97%. Complete closure rate at 6 months: 95%. Major complication rate: <1%.

Right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) muscle resection

Transannular patch if pulmonary annulus hypoplastic

Weaning from bypass + hemodynamic assessment

ICU monitoring: continuous SpO2 + CVP + arterial line

What is TOF Repair?

Complete intracardiac repair of Tetralogy of Fallot corrects all four defects: ventricular septal defect closure, relief of right ventricular outflow obstruction, and restoration of normal circulation. Ideally performed at 3-6 months of age.

Why China?

Volume: Anzhen and Fuwai combined >1,500 TOF repairs/year
Cost: $18,000-$30,000 vs. $80,000-$150,000 in the US
Outcomes: 30-day mortality <2% at high-volume centers, comparable to Boston Children's

Who is a candidate?

Infants with TOF (ideal age 3-6 months)
Pink/acyanotic TOF: elective repair by 12 months
Cyanotic TOF with tet spells: urgent repair

Outcomes

30-day mortality: 1-2%. 20-year survival: 90%+. Pulmonary valve replacement needed in 10-15% by adulthood.
