From Bay Area Structural Heart Wiki

ADOII

Equipment:

  • 260cm J Wire
  • 20F Dryseal
  • Agilis
  • 5F 110cm Shuttle Sheath (dependent on plug size)
  • 5F 10cm Pinnacle Sheath
  • Straight glidewire (standard)
  • 180* torqvue (French size not important here, only using for the cable.)

Procedure for placing a plug between 2 Mitraclip in the same setting:

  • 8F sheath and 260cm J inserted through guide delivery system.
  • Guide delivery system removed, 20F dryseal inserted
  • Agilis inserted
  • Preload Shuttle sheath with glidewire and advance through agilis
  • Glidewire used to cross between plugs and removed with shuttle dilator.
  • 5F sheath inserted into shuttle in lieu of using torqvue delivery sideport
    • Transition between shuttle and torqvue insertion isn't flush so occluder starts to deploy if sheath not used
