Transcatheter closure of a residual shunt after surgical repair of traumatic ventricular septal defect.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a patient with a significant residual left-to-right shunt who underwent surgical repair for traumatic VSD. This 13-year-old boy was stabbed with a pair of scissors through his heart. After initial life-saving surgery with lacerated left ventricular wall repair and VSD closure, residual VSD was noted. Six months later, we performed a successful transcatheter closure of the residual VSD with an Amplatzer muscular VSD occluder.

Percutaneous Punctured Transcatheter Device Closure of Residual Shunt after Ventricular Septal Defect Repair
Ventricular septal defects (VSDs) are estimated to account for 20 to 30% of all congenital heart defects (CHDs). Although a residual shunt is the most common complication of VSD surgery, a second operation that applies the surgical repair method is very difficult because it can increase the possibility of uncontrolled bleeding and the severity of tissue adhesion. Here, we present the first case...
متن کاملIntegrated Percutaneous Atrial Septal Defect Occlusion and Pulmonary Balloon Valvuloplasty
Introduction: Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) is one of the most common congenital heart diseases during childhood. Today, ASD closure is done by occlutech device via cardiac catheterization. ASD repair with transcatheter technique has shown high closure rate. However, coexistence of severe pulmonary stenosis and large defect in atrial septum is rare. When these two problems coexist, the result is i...
متن کاملImmediate primary transcatheter closure of postinfarction ventricular septal defects.
AIMS Immediate surgical repair of ventricular septal defect (VSD) complicating acute myocardial infarction is associated with high mortality. Percutaneous device closure appears to be safe and effective in patients treated for a residual shunt after initial surgical closure, as well as in patients with a chronic post-infarct VSD. Primary transcatheter VSD closure in the acute setting may also o...
متن کاملTranscatheter closure of a residual postmyocardial infarction ventricular septal defect with the Amplatzer septal occluder.
Acute ventricular septal rupture following myocardial infarction carries a high mortality. Early surgery improves survival but long term outcome depends on residual shunting and left ventricular function. Residual shunting is common despite apparently successful closure and may require reoperation. Transcatheter closure is an established method of treating selected congenital defects but clinic...

A 21 years albanian patient was referred with important residual left to right shunt. He was undergone 7 years before conventional surgical correction of a perimembranous ventricular septal defect (VSD). The patient underwent sternotomy and perventricular device closure of the residual employing a 16 mm multifenestrated atrial septal defect occlude, which was positioned through the anterior wal...
