Partial ventricular septal defect (Pacman(R) Heart) [PDF]

European Journal of Echocardiography, 2008
Complete ventricular septal defects (VSD) can be congenital (estimated prevalence 0.5% in live births) (Roguin N, et al. High prevalence of muscular ventricular septal defect in neonates. J Am Coll Cardiol 1995;26:1545-1548) or may be a complication of acute myocardial infarction (estimated incidence in the era of thrombolysis 0.2%) [Crenshaw BS, et al.

Anatomy of the ventricular septal defect in congenital heart defects: a random association? [PDF]

Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2018
A ventricular septal defect (VSD) is an integral part of most congenital heart defects (CHD). To determine the prevalence of VSD in various types of CHD and the distribution of their anatomic types.We reviewed 1178 heart specimens with CHD from the anatomic collection of the French Reference Centre for Complex Congenital Heart Defects.

Heart Block after Repair of Ventricular Septal Defect in Children [PDF]

Circulation, 1960
From March 1955 to April 1959, 174 patients with ventricular septal defect and 124 patients with ventricular septal defect associated with pulmonic stenosis were referred from the Section of Pediatrics of the Mayo Clinic for open intracardiac repair. Forty-eight of these 298 patients had complete heart block at some time following operation ...

Creation of Ventricular Septal Defects on the Beating Heart in a New Pig Model [PDF]

European Surgical Research, 2008
<i>Background/Aims:</i> So far, surgical and interventional therapies for muscular ventricular septal defects (mVSDs) beyond the moderator band have had their limitations. Thus, alternative therapeutic strategies should be developed. We present a new animal model for the evaluation of such strategies.

Heart–lung transplantation in patients with pulmonary atresia and ventricular septal defect [PDF]

The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2009
Heart-lung transplantation for patients with pulmonary atresia and ventricular septal defect is challenging. The aim of the study was to present a single-center experience with heart-lung transplantation in this difficult group of patients.A retrospective review identified 9 patients aged 4.1 to 45.6 years (median, 25.4 years) with pulmonary atresia ...

Challenges in treatment of postinfarction ventricular septal defect and heart failure

Vojnosanitetski pregled, 2015
Introduction. Acquired ventricular septal defect (VSD) is uncommon, but serious mechanical complication of acute myocardial infarction with poor outcome and high mortality rate in surgically or medically treated patients. Case report. We report a 58-year-old male patient admitted to our hospital six days following acute inferior myocardial ...

Emergency surgical closure of postinfarction ventricular septal defect on the beating heart [PDF]

Interactive CardioVascular and Thoracic Surgery, 2006
We present a 77-year-old female with recent myocardial infarction complicated by antero-apical ventricular septal defect (VSD) and quick development of low cardiac output. Using interrupted horizontal mattress sutures VSD closure was successfully performed on the beating heart.

Complete heart block associated with device closure of perimembranous ventricular septal defects [PDF]

The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2008
The development of the Amplatzer Membranous VSD Occluder (AGA Medical Corp, Plymouth, Minn) for closure of the perimembranous ventricular septal defect has ameliorated many of the technical difficulties of previous devices. Application of this new technology requires comparative evaluation with the current standard of surgical repair.

Placental epigenetics for evaluation of fetal congenital heart defects: Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD)

PLOS ONE, 2019
Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD), the most common congenital heart defect, is characterized by a hole in the septum between the right and left ventricles. The pathogenesis of VSD is unknown in most clinical cases. There is a paucity of data relevant to epigenetic changes in VSD.

Use of a Totally Artificial Heart for a Complex Postinfarction Ventricular Septal Defect

The Heart Surgery Forum, 2013
The incidence of cardiac rupture complicating myocardial infarction has declined since the introduction of thrombolytic therapy. Despite the advances in the management of myocardial infarction, cardiac rupture remains an important cause of death among infarction-related fatalities.
