Abstract:

 Congenital heart defects and structural cardiac abnormalities including atrial septal defect ‎‎(ASD), Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO), Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD), Patent Ductus ‎Arteriosus (PDA), and left atrial appendage anomalies represent a significant global health ‎burden, often requiring timely diagnosis and intervention to prevent long-term morbidity and ‎mortality. The development of transcatheter occlusion devices has transformed the treatment of ‎many disorders, providing less invasive, safer, and more effective alternatives to traditional ‎surgical procedures. This review delves into the historical progression and recent technological ‎advancements in occluder device design, materials, and deployment methods. It demonstrates ‎the transition from early metal-based devices, such as nitinol frameworks, to next-generation ‎biodegradable occluders made of polylactide, polydioxanone, and polycaprolactone. These ‎materials have excellent biocompatibility, facilitate tissue integration, and prevent the long-term ‎difficulties associated with permanent implants. Innovations such as 3D/4D printing, shape-‎memory polymers, and hybrid devices are pushing the development of safer and more patient-‎specific solutions. Despite positive preclinical and clinical results, there are still hurdles in ‎optimizing degradation rates, mechanical strength, and long-term effects. This study gives a ‎thorough assessment of current and emerging occlusion technologies, focusing on their potential ‎to improve procedural success, patient safety, and the future landscape of structural heart disease ‎treatment‎.
