This life-threatening condition frequently manifests in critically ill patients who are dependent on prolonged mechanical ventilation and are unsuitable candidates for thoracotomy due to their compromised health status. The Management of these mTEF patients remain a significant challenge.This study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of using a cardiac septal occluder for the closure of mTEF.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>8 patients with mTEF underwent closure surgery using atrial\/ventricular septal defect (ASD\/VSD) septal occluders at the Respiratory Department of HuBei Yichang Central People\u2019s Hospital from 2021 to 2023.

The study demonstrated that the use of cardiac septal occluder therapy in patients with mTEF can alleviate symptoms, improve quality of life, and enhance survival rates, with no significant complications observed. Furthermore, the study provided comprehensive details on surgical indications, preoperative evaluation and diagnosis, selection of occluder, methods of occlusion, and postoperative care.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>The application of cardiac septal occluder in the treatment of mTEF is a safe and effective palliative treatment.
