摘要
Aims: The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of a novel percutaneous "deviceless" suture-mediated patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure system. Methods and results: Between June 2016 and October 2017, a prospective registry aimed at assessing the safety and efficacy of the NobleStitch EL (HeartStitch, Fountain Valley, CA, USA) suture-based PFO closure system was carried out at 12 sites in Italy. Among 200 consecutive patients evaluated, 192 were considered suitable for suture-mediated PFO closure (44 +/- 13 years, 114 female). Suture of the septum with the NobleStitch EL system was carried out successfully in 186 (96%) patients. Median fluoroscopy time was 16.1 (13.0-22.5) minutes and contrast volume 200 (150-270) ml. At 206 +/- 130 days follow-up, contrast transthoracic echocardiography with the Valsalva manoeuvre revealed no RLS (grade 0) in 139 (75%) patients and RLS grade <= 1 in 166 (89%) patients. Significant RLS was present in 20 (11%) patients (grade 2 and 3 in 11 and nine patients, respectively). There were no device-related complications. Conclusions: The early results of this first Italian registry indicate that the suture-mediated "deviceless" closure of PFO is feasible in the majority of septal anatomies, and provides an effective closure of PFO comparable to traditional devices with a good safety profile at medium-term follow-up.
