Morphology and Function of the Aortic Valve after Transcatheter Closure of Ventricular Septal Defect with Aortic Valve Prolapse

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the morphology and function of aortic valve after transcatheter closure ventricular septal defect (VSD) with prolapse (AVP) abased on clinical radiological outcomes. Methods: From January 2013 November 2014, 164 consecutive patients (97 males, 59.1%) VSD AVP were treated by closure. The divided into mild group (n = 63), moderate 89) severe 12). outcomes these analyzed retrospectively. Results: In total, 146 (89.0%) successfully occluders, including 59/63 (93.7%) AVP, 80/89 (89.9%) 7/12 (58.3%) AVP. degree was ameliorated or disappeared in 39 (26.7%) patients, remained unchanged 103 (70.5%) intervention. 35 who initially had trivial-to-moderate regurgitation (AR), AR 25 (71.4%) aggravated from trivial 1 (2.9%) patient, 9 (25.7%) patients. 111 without AR, (0.9%) patient 24 (21.6%) depth width prolapsed decreased all three groups.
