    Description of Event or Problem · 0

    A JOURNAL ARTICLE WAS SUBMITTED DETAILING A STUDY EVALUATING EXPERIENCE WITH MICRO VASCULAR PLUG (MVP) FOR EMBOLIZATION OF VASCULAR ABNORMALITIES IN CHILDREN WITH CONGENITAL HEART DISEASES (CHDS). 153 PATIENTS UNDERWENT 172 PROCEDURES DURING WHICH 240 EMBOLIZATIONS USING 259 MVPS WERE ATTEMPTED. TARGET VESSELS WERE AORTOPULMONARY COLLATERALS (APCS) (N=100), PULMONARY SEQUESTRATION ARTERIAL VESSEL SUPPLIES (N=25), ARTERIAL DUCTS (N=26), INTERNAL MAMMARY ARTERIES SUPPLYING COLLATERAL ARTERIES TO THE LUNG (N=22), VENOVENOUS FISTULAE (N=24), VENO-CARDIAC FISTULAE (N=16), CORONARY FISTULAE (N=6), BLALOCK-TAUSSIG SHUNTS (N=5), LEFT SUPERIOR CAVAL VEIN (N=4), AZYGOS VEIN (N=1), AND OTHER VESSELS¿ MALFORMATIONS (N=11). ALL IMPLANTED MVPS WERE UNEVENTFULLY DETACHED FROM THE FIRST ATTEMPT. IN 30.8% OF CASES, MULTIPLE MVPS WERE IMPLANTED DURING THE SAME INTERVENTION. THE MOST COMMONLY USED DEVICE WAS MVP-5Q. THE MVP-9Q WAS USED IN ONLY 3 PATIENTS. TWO MVPS WERE USED IN 14 PATIENTS TO ENSURE COMPLETE CLOSURE. OVERALL PROCEDURE SUCCESS RATE WAS 99.2%. 252 MVPS WERE PLACED SUCCESSFULLY AND IN SEVEN PATIENTS THE DEVICE HAD TO BE RETRIEVED BEFORE RELEASE. FOLLOWING DEVICE PLACEMENT, IMMEDIATE ANGIOGRAPHIC EVALUATION SHOWED RESIDUAL SHUNTING IN 21.1% OF CASES BUT THIS RATE IMMEDIATELY DROPPED TO 5.5% BY ADDING COILS OR OTHER OCCLUDER DEVICES. IN ONE PATIENT WITH AORTOPULMONARY COLLATERAL, THE MVP PROTRUDED IN THE AORTA AND HAD TO BE DOWNGRADED IN SIZE FOR OPTIMAL CLOSURE. IN THE REMAINING 6 PATIENTS, THE DEVICE WAS UNSTABLE WITH SIGNIFCANT RESIDUAL SHUNT LEADING TO MVP SIZE UPGRADE (N=3), SWITCH TO ANOTHER OCCLUDER DEVICE (N=2), AND PROCEDURE ABORTION (N=1). ALL TRIVIAL SHUNTS DISAPPEARED BEFORE DISCHARGE. MODERATE SHUNTS WERE PERCUTANEOUSLY TREATED USING ANOTHER MVP (N=2) OR WERE COMPLICATED WITH DEVICE EMBOLIZATION/MIGRATION (N=5). OVERALL, THERE WERE 4 DEVICE EMBOLIZATIONS AND 4 MIGRATIONS. TWO DEVICES EMBOLIZED IMMEDIATELY AFTER RELEASE AND TWO DEVICES (MVP-5Q AND MVP-7Q) EMBOLIZED INTO THE PULMONARY ARTERIES 24 H AFTER ARTERIAL DUCT CLOSURES. ALL THESE 4 DEVICES WERE PERCUTANEOUSLY RETRIEVED. THE TWO ARTERIAL DUCTS WERE CLOSED WITH AN MVP-7Q AND A DUCT OCCLUDER, RESPECTIVELY. DEVICE MIGRATIONS WERE IMMEDIATELY DETECTED AFTER RELEASE WITHOUT SEQUELAE (N=2) AND ACROSS FOLLOW-UP (N=2). ONE MVP-5Q MOBILIZED TO A LARGER PART OF A CORONARY FISTULA AND WAS TREATED BY ADDING ANOTHER ADJACENT MVP-5Q FOR STABILITY AND COMPLETE SHUNT CLOSURE. ANOTHER MVP-5Q MIGRATED DISTALLY IN A PULMONARY SEQUESTRATION ARTERIAL VESSEL SUPPLY WHERE IT STABILIZED WITH COMPLETE SHUNT CLOSURE. ONE AORTIC COARCTATION WAS SECONDARY TO MVP-5Q PROTRUSION. IT WAS DETECTED 2 MONTHS FOLLOWING ARTERIAL DUCT CLOSURE AND THE DEVICE HAD TO BE SURGICALLY RECAPTURED AFTER FAILED PERCUTANEOUS RECAPTURE. IN ANOTHER PATIENT WITH TYPE III PULMONARY ATRESIA-VENTRICULAR SEPTAL DEFECT, ROUTINE DIAGNOSTIC CT-SCAN PERFORMED AFTER 4 YEARS FORTUITOUSLY REVEALED DISTAL MIGRATION OF AN MVP-5Q INITIALLY DEPLOYED IN AN APC INTO THE LEFT INFERIOR LOBE P ULMONARY ARTERY WITH NO SEQUELAE. THERE WAS NO HEMOLYSIS, OR ANY OTHER VASCULAR OR DEVICE RELATED COMPLICATION.
