Article Title: Off‐Label Use of the Multifunctional Occluder for Transcatheter Patent Ductus Arteriosus Closure: An International Experience

doi: 10.1161/JAHA.125.043468

Figure Lengend Snippet: A , Baseline aortic angiogram in RAO showing a 3‐mm type A PDA; B , Aortic angiogram in the same projection following deployment of an MFO 6–4 (no PTFE membrane) showing a well‐positioned device with mild residual intraprosthetic shunt; C , Baseline aortic angiogram in the lateral projection; D , Aortic angiogram (lateral projection) following device deployment confirming a well‐positioned device. MFO indicates multifunctional occluder; PDA, patent ductus arteriosus; and RAO, right anterior oblique.

Article Snippet: The intraprocedural TTE showed device protrusion causing mild acquired aortic obstruction, leading to device retrieval and successful PDA closure with an Amplatzer Duct Occluder II 5/4 (Abbott Medical, Plymouth, MN, USA) during the same case.

Figure Lengend Snippet: A , Laminar color flow in descending aorta; B , Color wave Doppler velocity demonstrated no obstruction in the aorta with a peak velocity of 1.5 m/s; C , The MFO device was seen with no residual shunt at postprocedural Day 1, with laminar flow into LPA; D , Color wave Doppler velocity demonstrated no obstruction in the LPA with a peak velocity of 1.5 m/s. LPA indicates left pulmonary artery; MFO, multifunctional occluder; and RPA, right pulmonary artery.

Figure Lengend Snippet: A , Baseline lateral aortic angiogram demonstrating a 7.6 mm, Type A PDA; B , Lateral aortic angiogram following deployment of an MFO 14–12 (PTFE membrane) showing a well‐positioned device with immediate shunt occlusion. MFO indicates multifunctional occluder; and PDA, patent ductus arteriosus.

Figure Lengend Snippet: A , Initial aortic angiogram in the lateral projection demonstrated a short, type B PDA (4.5 mm minimal diameter, 4 mm length); B , Aortic angiogram after release of an MFO 8–6 (no PTFE membrane) showing mild intraprosthetic shunt; C , The aortic angiogram in the lateral projection at the time of reintervention showing significant intraprosthetic residual shunt; D , The final aortic angiogram in the lateral projection following transcatheter retrieval of the MFO 8–6 and implantation of an MFO 9–5 (PTFE membrane) demonstrating a well‐positioned device with immediate shunt occlusion. The aortic disc is well conformed with a descending aortic peak velocity of 1.6 m/s at discharge. MFO indicates multifunctional occluder; and PDA, patent ductus arteriosus.

Article Title: Physician-modified vascular plug for entry closure of a chronic aneurysmal aortic dissection

doi: 10.1016/j.jvscit.2025.102100

Figure Lengend Snippet: Procedure for making the physician-modified vascular plug (PMVP) and intraoperative angiogram of the PMVP placement technique. A , An expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) prosthetic patch shaped and drilled in the center of the patch and an Amplatzer Vascular Plug. B, Completed PMVP. C, After 2 disks were deployed on the false lumen by unsheathing, the third was deployed in the true lumen. Successful occlusion was confirmed by the angiogram before deployment.

Article Snippet: To make the PMVP, we used an 8-mm Amplatzer Vascular Plug (AVP II; St Jude Medical), which was approximately 2 mm larger than the diameter of the intimal defect, and an expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) prosthetic patch (Gore Preclude Pericardial Membrane; W. L. Gore).
