چکیده

Closure of residual ventricular septal defect with an occluder is traditionally performed by a percutaneous transcatheter approach under radiographic guidance. However, this procedure may be of limited use in cases with unusually shaped defects and in patients with low body weight. Here, we report minimally invasive surgical device closure of a 6 mm residual ventricular septal defect under transesophageal echocardiographic guidance, in a patient weighing 10 kg that had previously undergone surgical correction of a double outlet right ventricle. The defect was positioned in the suture line between the Gore-Tex vascular graft and the remnant ventricular septum, and was unusual in that it formed a 135° angle with the Gore-Tex graft. The defect was closed successfully with a 10 mm asymmetric occluder. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of transesophageal echocardiography-guided minimally invasive surgical device closure of an unusually shaped residual ventricular septal defect after surgical correction of a double-outlet right ventricle.

BACKGROUND A hybrid approach to minimally invasive perventricular closure of VSD in infants is safe and effective, and has been performed under guidance of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). We applied transthoracic echocardiographic (TTE) guidance to this hybrid approach, and compare results guided by TTE with those by TEE. METHODS From January 2011 to January 2012, 71 infants with VSD ...

Usefulness of intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography in the assessment of surgical repair of pediatric ventricular septal defects with video-assisted endoscopic techniques in children.

BACKGROUND Mini cardiac operative procedures with video-assisted endoscopic techniques for closure of ventricular septal defects (VSDs) in pediatric patients have become quite popular for cardiac surgery. A precise diagnosis is very important for determining the surgical approach, and evaluation by intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) plays a major role in confirmation of the p...
