OBJECTIVE: To explore the feasibility of transcatheter closure of @entity118 ( @entity118 ) under transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) guidance. METHODS: Retrospective analysis was performed in 65 @entity1 with simple @entity118 who underwent transcatheter closure under echocardiography guidance in Fuwai hospital from February to August 2013. They were divided into TTE group (n = 30) and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) group (n = 35). The TTE group @entity1 who underwent localized anesthesia or basal anesthesia received transcatheter closure of @entity118 under the guidance of TTE. The TEE group @entity1 who underwent tracheal intubation and general anesthesia received transcatheter closure of @entity118 under the guidance of TEE. The @entity1 were followed up with TTE and electrocardiogram at one month after procedure at outpatient department. RESULTS: In the TTE group, 28 occluders were implanted successfully and 2 @entity1 were subsequently switched to TEE guidance because of unclear TTE images, and the occluder implantation in these 2 @entity1 was successful. There were no obvious differences in age, sex, body weight, @entity118 size, and time of hospital stay between the two groups (all P > 0.05) . Compared with TEE group, the TTE group had a significantly shorter operation time ((52.77    9.00 ) min vs. (60.11    9.15) min, P < 0.05), respirator ventilation duration ((0.25    0.95) h vs. (3.17    0.69) h, P < 0.05), and stay time in ICU ((1.50    1.96) h vs. (16.43    6.99) h, P < 0.05). The dose of @entity1875 required was significantly lower in the TTE group compared to TEE group ((2.41    2.97) mg/kg vs. (9.43    3.70) mg/kg, P < 0.05). The @entity1 in both groups had no complications such as residual shunt, peripheral @entity1317 or cardiac perforation at the time of hospitalization.No complications, such as @entity3029 , residual shunt, or @entity2294 were seen during follow-up at one month post procedure in both groups. CONCLUSION: Transcatheter closure of @entity118 under TTE guidance is feasible and has a broad application prospects.
