Background: The Amplatzer Septal Occluder (ASO; Abbott, St. Paul, MN) is an FDA-approved device for percutaneous closure of secundum type atrial septal defects (ASD). Previous small cohort trials have shown a favorable safety and technical efficacy profile. Methods: We conducted a systemic review and meta-analysis of all prospective case series and controlled trials that evaluated the ASO's safety and implant efficacy. The primary endpoint was the technical success rate of implantations. Secondary outcomes included proportions of arrhythmias and embolism specific-adverse events. Results: We included a total of 12 studies with 2972 patients. The ratio of device implantation was 2:1 by sex [female: male]. Pooled technical success rate of implantation was 98% (95% CI: 0.968–0.990, P < 0.01). The cumulative adverse event rate was 5.1% (95% CI: 0.035–0.068, P < 0.01), which included arrhythmia and embolism specific adverse event rates of 1.8% (95% CI: 0.007–0.032, P < 0.01) and 0.7% (95% CI: 0.002–0.013, P < 0.01), respectively. Sensitivity analysis did not significantly affect pooled outcomes for success rate and adverse events; both forest plot and Begg's and Egger's regression tests supported symmetricity. Conclusion: A high likelihood of technical success can be expected when implanting the ASO in secundum type ASDs. Adverse event rates are expected for one in twenty patients, and thus, our results support the safe use of ASO in secundum type ASDs closure. Condensed abstract: The AMPLATZER Septal Occluder is an FDA-approved device for percutaneous closure of secundum type atrial septal defects (ASD). We conducted a systemic review and meta-analysis of all prospective case series and controlled trials that evaluated the ASO's safety and implant efficacy. We included a total of 12 studies with 2972 patients. Pooled technical success rate of implantation was 98% (P < 0.01). The cumulative adverse event rate was 5.1% (P < 0.01), 1.8% (P < 0.01) rate of arrhythmias, and 0.7% (P < 0.01) rate of embolisms. A high likelihood of technical success can be expected with a low rate of adverse events.
