was demonstrated by both methods in 10. However, in one case, the indicator curve showed a left-to-right shunt whereas selective left ventricular cineangiography failed to demonstrate it. Conversely, in two other cases, selective left ventricular cineangiography demonstrated a small ventricular septal defect while a normal culve was obtained by indicator-dilution technique. Comparing our experience with cineangiography with that of others, using hydrogen ion and indocyanine-green indicator-dilution techniques for the detection of small left-to-right intracardiac shunts, it seems there is little difference in the sensitivity of the three methods. Each is capable of detecting ventricular septal defects which

Color Doppler detection of multiple ventricular septal defects.
Combined two-dimensional and Doppler echocardiography has a high sensitivity and specificity for detection of isolated perimembranous ventricular septal defects. However, muscular or multiple ventricular septal defects may be difficult to diagnose with noninvasive methods, particularly in older children, necessitating angiography for accurate diagnosis. Detection of single and multiple ventricu...

متن کاملEchocardiographic detection of bacterial vegetations in a child with a ventricular septal defect.
A 13-year-old boy with a small ventricular septal defect was admitted with clinical manifestations of acute endocarditis. Coagulase-positive staphylococci were isolated from the blood. Definitive diagnosis was made by detecting bacterial vegetations in the right ventricle on the echocardiogram. Repeated embolization of these vegetations to the pulmonary circulation led to the death of the patient.

Introduction: In this study, we sought to illustrate our experience in urgent surgical management for embolized cardiac septal occlude devices resulting from trans-catheter closure of atrial septal defect and ventricular septal defect. Mathrials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed four patients aged 2–10 years who underwent urgent surgery due to cardiac septal occluder embolization between...
متن کاملHolt-Oram Syndrome: A Rare Variant
Holt-Oram syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder, characterised by skeletal abnormalities of the upper limb associated with congenital heart defect, mainly atrial and ventricular septal defects. Skeletal defects exclusively affect the upper limbs in the preaxial radial ray distribution and are bilateral and asymmetrical. They range from clinodactyly, absent or digitalised thumb, hypoplastic...
