What did we learn?<br />

These observations support previous reports that the most<br />

common reason deferring a transcatheter procedure was<br />

insufficient or deficient rims, particularly the IVC or posterior<br />

rims, as seen in just over 1/3 of the children<br />

In 1/4 of the children the operator felt that the device would be<br />

too large to be accommodated in the septum & interfere with<br />

contiguous cardiac structures & a risk factor for erosion,<br />

atrioventricular valve regurgitation, complete heart block, or<br />

bradycardia<br />

From this data, weight can be used to guide the largest device,<br />

which could plausibly be implanted based on a D/W: in cases 1.5:1 was thought too large to be implanted
