Percutaneous closure of perimembranous and muscular ventricular septal defects in the same session in a pediatric patient

33107

Ventricular septal defect closure is proposed because of some possible complications such as left heart failure, pulmonary vascular disease, Eisenmenger s syndrome and infective endocarditis. These defects are conventionally closed by surgery in general practice. Percutaneous closure is becoming increasingly common in recent years. While percutaneous closure was first reported in muscular defects, currently it is also used successfully for perimembranous defects. In this paper we presented a pediatric case with a single perimembranous ventricular septal defect detected on transthoracic echocardiography examination. The muscular defect was detected during the intervention and was closed percutaneously in the same session with the perimembranous defect
