Concurrent transcatheter closure of an apical muscular

Pediatric cardiology · Jan 2003

Case Reports

Concurrent transcatheter closure of an apical muscular ventricular septal defect and a patent ductus arteriosus in a child with severe hyperkinetic pulmonary hypertension.

Definitive treatment of congenital apical muscular ventricular septal defect (VSD) with large left-to-right shunt, severe pulmonary hypertension, and major associated lesions such as patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) has so far been possible only by surgery that has significant attendant morbidity and mortality [2]. Transcatheter device closure of both shunt lesions, if feasible, is a potentially simpler and safer alternative to surgery.
