Spontaneously Healed Membranous Type Ventricular Septal Defect with Malaligned Interventricular Septal Wall and Double-Chambered Right Ventricle in a 56-Year-Old Patient

چکیده
A 56-year-old male presented with resting dyspnea and chest discomfort for several years. During transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography, a spontaneously healed membranous type ventricular septal defect (VSD) with malaligned interventricular septal wall, aneurysmal changes, a subaortic ridge and a double-chambered right ventricle (DCRV) was observed. When combined with DCRV, VSD with malalignment between the outlet and trabecular septa was associated with tetralogy of Fallot. The subaortic ridge was due to turbulent flow caused by the malalignment-type VSD. The VSD with malaligned interventricular septal wall can be developed after aneurismal changes of a perimembranous VSD. We report here in the unusual case of a 56-year-old patient who had a pathology complex comprising DCRV, subaortic ridge, spontaneously healed membranous type VSD with malaligned interventricular septal wall, and survived with surgical treatment.

A Rare Case of Double-Chambered Right Ventricle Associated with Ventricular Septal Defect and Congenital Absence of the Pulmonary Valve
Double-chambered right ventricle (DCRV) is a rare congenital heart disorder involving 2 different right ventricle (RV) pressure compartments that is often associated with ventricular septal defect (VSD). Usually, the obstruction is caused by an anomalous muscle bundle crossing the RV from the interventricular septum to the RV free wall. We are reporting a case of double-chambered right ventricl...

A double outlet right ventricle was diagnosed in a 10 week old infant, in whom the ventricular septum was intact at the time of presentation. A large aneurysm of a membranous septal remnant was present, and this appears to be the first recorded instance of closure of a malalignment ventricular septal defect by such a mechanism.

A19-year-old woman with mild exercise intolerance was referred for follow-up examination of a known ventricular septal defect (VSD; Figure 1A). By continuous-wave Doppler, a gradient across the tricuspid valve of 60 mm Hg was recorded. The parasternal short-axis view revealed an anomalous muscle bundle with insertion at the interventricular septum and the right ventricular (RV) free wall (Figur...

A 65-year-old male was referred for to our facility for right and left heart catheterization and coronary angiography for evaluation of a ventricular septal defect and to rule out significant coronary artery disease. During the procedure, the patient was diagnosed with a double-chambered right ventricle (DCRV). Most DCRV cases are diagnosed at a young age; presentation in an adult is extremely ...
