Abstract 4146655: Transcatheter device closure of Ventricular Septal Defect in children weighing less than 30 lbs. is a safe and effective procedure based on 10-year experience from a single tertiary center in southern India

Circulation

Introduction:Ventricular septal defect (VSD) is the most common pediatric defect which benefits from closure at an early age. and excluded patients with VSD diameter >10mm and those with other congenital cardiac anomalies.Results:We included 40 patients with a mean age of 18.95 ± 13.02 The mean VSD size was 6.01 ± 2.29

Explanatory deep learning to predict elevated pulmonary artery pressure in children with ventricular septal defects using standard chest x-rays: a novel approach

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

We hypothesize that applying artificial intelligence (AI) to chest x-rays (CXRs) could identify the future risk of PAH in patients with ventricular septal defect (VSD). Methods A total of 831 VSD patients (161 PAH-VSD, 670 nonPAH-VSD) was retrospectively included.

HeartRhythm

In repaired tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF), the septal anatomical isthmuses (AI), 3, between the ventricular septal defect (VSD) and pulmonary annulus, and 4, between the VSD and tricuspid annulus, are important ventricular tachycardia (VT) substrates when slow conducting.

PO-06-072 BIPOLAR ABLATION FOR SEPTAL VENTRICULAR TACHYCARDIA IN A PATIENT WITH CARDIAC SARCOIDOSIS

HeartRhythm

Bipolar ablation carries a risk of steam pops, conduction system injury, etc but iatrogenic VSD has not previously been described Bipolar radiofrequency (RF) ablation is an adjunctive tool for VT ablation to treat deep intraseptal or mid-myocardial sources of arrhythmias.
