Categorisation of ventricular septal defects: review of the perimembranous morphology
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Association for European Paediatric Cardiology, the Society of Thoracic Surgeons, and the European Association for Cardiothoracic Surgery, have recently published detailed hierarchical listings for the description of ventricular septal defects. This review details the anatomic basis for the European codes, illustrating the phenotypic features of the various holes that can be described as perimembranous ventricular septal defects.

Transcatheter closure of perimembranous ventricular septal defects with Amplatzer occluder assessed by real-time three-dimensional echocardiography.
We report our initial experience in two patients using real-time three-dimensional echocardiography to assess perimembranous ventricular septal defect and device morphology and their relation with contiguous cardiac structure. Defect size and rims as well as device position and profile were displayed from the three-dimensional "en face" views. We think that real-time three-dimensional echocardi...
متن کاملTranscatheter closure of perimembranous ventricular septal defects.
The isolated perimembranous ventricular septal defect is one of the most common congenital cardiac malformations. Although surgery has been performed and has a low associated risk, it still involves morbidity due to factors such as residual leaks, atrioventricular block, postpericardiotomy syndrome and arrhythmias. It has been speculated that percutaneous closure of these defects could minimize...
متن کاملTranscatheter closure of iatrogenic perimembranous ventricular septal defect after aortic valve and ascending aorta replacement using an Amplatzer membranous ventricular septal occluder.
Iatrogenic perimembranous ventricular septal defect is a rare complication after surgical replacement of the aortic valve, and so transcatheter closure of such a defect is not a routine procedure. We report the successful closure of an iatrogenic perimembranous ventricular septal defect which occurred after the replacement of the aortic valve and ascending aorta.
متن کاملPercutaneous treatment of ventricular tachycardia, perimembranous ventricular septal defect and patent foramen ovale: a case report.
UN CO RR EC Perimembranous ventricular septal defect in adulthood can be complicated by episodes of sustained ventricular tachycardia [1,2]. The treatment algorithm of both the arrhythmia and congenital cardiac defect can raise some issues, namely medical versus interventional therapies. We report the case of a 40 years old man, admitted for slow ventricular tachycardia with left bundle branch ...
متن کاملDouble Chambered Right Ventricle with Ventricular Septal Defect in Adults: Case Series and Review of the Literature
Double-chambered right ventricle (DCRV) is an uncommon congenital anomaly in which anomalous muscle bands divide the right ventricle into two chambers; a proximal high-pressure and distal low-pressure chamber. It may be associated with mid right ventricular obstruction. It is commonly associated with other congenital anomalies, most frequently perimembranous ventricular septal defect (PM-VSD). ...
