Transcatheter closure of Ventricular Septal defects in Malta : initial experience [PDF]

, 2005
Ventricular septal defects (VSD) consist of deficiencies of the wall separating the two ventricles. VSDs are the commonest congenital cardiac defects. Small VSDs rarely require intervention, however, larger defects cause ventricular volume overload with ...

Safety and Efficacy of Right Axillary Thoracotomy for Repair of Congenital Heart Defects in Children

, 2023
BACKGROUND: Minimally invasive repair of congenital heart defects in children has not gained wide popularity yet compared to minimally invasive approaches in adults. We sought to review our experience with this approach in children.

Quality of life in children with infrequent congenital heart defects: cohort study with one-year of follow-up

Health and Quality of Life Outcomes, 2020
Background The evidence regarding patient related outcomes in children with infrequent congenital heart defects (I-CHD) is very limited. We sought to measure quality of life (QoL) in children with I-CHD, and secondarily, to describe QoL changes after one-
