Percutaneous Punctured Transcatheter Device Closure of Residual Shunt after Ventricular Septal Defect Repair

الملخص EN

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 of percutaneous punctured transcatheter device closure of a residual shunt after VSD repair as a novel method to further develop for the treatment of children with congenital heart disease.
