Early and mid-term outcomes of transcatheter closure of perimembranous ventricular septal defects using double-disc occluders

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

IntroductionVentricular septal defect (VSD) is a common congenital heart disease (CHD), accounting for 2030% of all CHD cases. While surgical closure has been the gold standard for treatment, transcatheter closure has emerged as a less invasive alternative, particularly for perimembranous VSDs.

Three-dimensional printing-guided percutaneous transcatheter replacement in coarctation of the aorta: a retrospective study

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

One case complicated with ventricular septal defect (VSD). Two patients with PDA and VSD underwent interventional occlusion at the same time without shunt. There were 6 males and 4 females whose average age was (27.6813.45) years. The operation simulation was performed before operation to determine the best operation plan.

This is the aortic valve in closed position and mitral valve also appears to be closed in position. You can also see the aortic override. The VSD is partly overrided by the aorta. So, when there is an aortic override, if the override of the aorta is less than 50%, you think of tetralogy of Fallot.

Patient Story- Christopher Orozco

Conquering CHD

An echocardiogram revealed the heart condition that would define much of his early life: severe congenital heart defects. At just 20 days old, Christopher underwent his first heart surgery, a complex procedure to patch the VSD, repair the ASD, resect the LVOT muscle, and reconstruct his aortic arch.
