ASD is a common birth defect involving the heartin
which there is a hole in the partition between the
two collecting chambers of the heart, known as
Atria.
Standard of care for ASD closure is through
Trans-catheter approach.
In India, there is a prevalence of 1.5 to
2 million patients with ASD and yearly incidence is
37,500 in India.
About 900-1000 ASD Devices are implanted in
India. Currently available devices have major deficiencies which led us to develop the VSO device
today.
It utilizes experience of currently available devices and its potential
for improvement. The device is made of nitinol with shape memory
properties which has been used in similar devices across the world,
with established safety profile in human heart.
Improved design, safety profile and ease of use.
Only 8 devices needed to cover all sizes and morphology of ASD variations compared to current versions needing 18 devices.
Less Risk of Complications:
Versatile to adjust to the variations in the nature of the defects. Minimal
risk of embolization or erosion.
No need for balloon sizing.
One size fits many! Ease of deployment with minimal or no
flouroscopy and even can be performed under trans-thoracic
echocardiography.

Uniqueness of VSO
- Device in device = stability: Many devices
- compacted. 2-3 sizes in one device
- Central anchoring reduces retention force away
- from the LA/RA discs
- Variable conjoined rings of graded diameters give
- versatility
- Smaller LA disc (D1) provides less metal surface
- Highly flexible LA/RA discs
- Longer device profile prior to deloyment
- prevents disc protrusion and “buttonhole”
- Avoids malposition and better maneuverability.
- Smaller disc size provides better device profile
- which reduces sheath size.
- Softer device profile means less risk of erosion and
- flexible anchoring.
- Side profile of VSO device
