Case Report: Transcatheter closure of ventricular septal defect using a Starway Neo Occluder via a single-access approach: report of two cases
These case reports preliminarily indicate that the transcatheter single-access VSD closure technique is technically feasible and demonstrates a favorable early safety profile. While limited in scale, the successful outcomes in these two cases suggest significant promise for broader clinical adoption. However, further validation through larger-scale studies and long-term follow-up is required to confirm its sustained efficacy and safety.
