Multiple Muscular Ventricular Septal Defects.
APPROXIMATELY 10 per cent of interventricular communications occur in the muscular portion of the ventricular septum.1-3 Of 259 cases of isolated ventricular septa] defects,2' 4-9 4.0 per cent had multiple muscular defects. Scant mention of these multiple defects as a distinct entity can be found in the recent literature, although the incidence is significant. We have observed characteristic fi...
متن کاملFat in the ventricular septum.
Described herein is a 68-year-old man who underwent cardiac transplantation for severe chronic heart failure resulting from ischemic cardiomyopathy. Examination of the excised heart showed not only extensive left ventricular scarring but also a huge collection of adipose tissue in the subepicardial region and surprisingly also in the ventricular septum. The finding of fat in the ventricular sep...
متن کاملNatural history of prenatal isolated muscular ventricular septal defects.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the natural history of isolated muscular ventricular septal (m-VSD) defects during gestation and up to 1 year postnatally, as well as the association with chromosomal anomalies. MATERIAL AND METHODS Between August 2007 and July 2012, 76 fetuses with isolated m-VSDs represented the study population. The following variables were evaluated: site and size of the m-VSDs, pres...
متن کاملHybrid approach for closure of muscular ventricular septal defects
BACKGROUND The complexity of ventricular septal defects in early infancy led to development of new mini-invasive techniques based on collaboration of cardiac surgeons with interventional cardiologists, called hybrid procedures. Hybrid therapies aim to combine the advantages of surgical and interventional techniques in an effort to reduce the invasiveness. The aim of this study was to present ou...
متن کاملAn Unusual Mechanism of Closure of Muscular Ventricular Septal Defects
Ventricular septal defects (VSDs) are the most common congenital heart defects. Most of the small or moderate size (<6 mm) muscular VSDs close spontaneously within the first two years of life. The usual mechanism of spontaneous closure involves muscular tissue encroachment with superimposed fibrosis or primary fibrous tissue formation around the margins of the defect. We describe an unusual mec...
