Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of a novel wire for echo-guiding percutaneous atrial septal defect (ASD) closure.Methods Twenty sheep were randomly divided into two groups, an experimental group and a control group (n=10 in each group). In both groups, an animal model of ASD was established by transthoracic balloon dilatation, and percutaneous closure of atrial septal defect was finished only by echography guiding. The total procedure time, passing time (time needed for the guide wire to enter the left atrium), frequency of delivery sheath dropping into right atrium, frequency of arrhythmias and rate of complications were compared between the two groups.Results ASD model was uneventfully established in all animals. ASD devices were successfully implanted in all sheep. Compared with the control group, the experimental group had significantly less mean procedure time and mean passing time, lower frequency of guide wire dropping into right atrium and frequency of atrial and ventricular premature contractions, respectively (15.36±4.86 min vs. 25.82±7.85 min, 2.69±0.82 min vs. 5.58±3.34 min, 0% vs. 40.0%, 4.41±2.61 vs. 9.60±3.68, 0.75±0.36 vs. 1.34±0.68; all P<0.05) . Two groups did not have serious complications within postoperative one week.Conclusion The novel wire system is not only safe and effective in the treatment of ASD occlusion, but also easy to operate.
