Anatomic evidence for spontaneous closure of ventricular septal defect.
T HE PROBABILITY that postnatal spontaneous closure of ventricular septal defect occurs with some frequency has been evident to clinicians for a number of years. This postulate is based upon the presence of characteristic murmurs in childhood which disappear with the growth and development of the patient.1-7 Convincing evidence of spontaneous functional closure of ventricular septal defects is ...
متن کاملVentricular septal defect in children born in Liverpool 1960 to 1969. Evaluation of natural course and surgical implications in an unselected population.
We have reviewed data on all patients born between 1960 and 1969 and registered in the Liverpool Registry of Congenital Malformations as having congenital heart disease. There were 385 with a ventricular septal defect as their sole or main cardiac lesion. Analysis of the available follow-up data showed that 50 of these were subsequently assigned in other diagnostic categories and a further 41 f...
متن کاملThe natural history of isolated ventricular septal defect. A serial physiologic study.
T HE ADVENT of curative surgery for the patient with ventricular septal defect has emphasized the need for a more precise knowledge of the natural history of this anomaly. Despite numerous studies in the last few years, many factors relating to the natural history of ventricular septal defects remain incompletely defined. The diversity in clinical course of patients with isolated ventricular se...
متن کاملCorrection of isolated secundum atrial septal defect in infancy.
Although it is a common congenital cardiac lesion, secundum atrial septal defect (ASD) rarely presents in infancy. Its natural history in the first two decades of life is generally benign. Reports of symptomatic ASD in early childhood stress the place of conservative management, and recommend that the operation should be deferred until school age. Few accounts of the indications for surgery in ...
متن کاملThe operative closure of ventricular septal defects in childhood.
Incidence and Natural History Ventricular septal defect is the commonest congenital heart lesion in childhood and probably accounts for 20% of all heart defects (Keith, Rowe, and Vlad, I958). It has been reported to be the second most common cause of death in children suffering from heart disease (Zacharioudakis, Terplan and Lambert, 1957). An accurate appraisal of the life-span of a child born...
