Objective: To access the possibility, methods and efficacy of simultaneous transcatheter therapy for ventricular septal defect ( VSD ) combined with atrial septal defect (ASD).
Methods: In 68 patients with VSD, four patients ranging from 3 to 24 years old were combined with ASD. The diameters of perimembranous VSD were 2 approximately 10.5 mm, and the diameters of secundum ASD were 4.6 approximately 7 mm under the echocardiography before the operation. Another 4 patients with VSD occluded by left ventriculography: 3 patients were occluded by VSD occluder first, and then occluded by ASD occuder. The other was only occluded by VSD occluder.
Results: All VSD was treated successfully at one time in 4 patients. The diameters of VSD occluder were 4, 8, 10, and 16 mm. ASD was occluded successfully at one time in 3 patients. The diameters of ASD occluder were 8, 10, and 10 mm. The successful rate of the operation was 100%. No complication occurred in the operation and follow-up.
Conclusion: Simultaneous transcatheter closure for VSD combined with ASD is a safe, feasible and effective therapy.

A_small_ASD_with right-to-left shunt is useful for off-loading a dysfunctional right ventricle postoperatively. However, an ASD with left-to-right shunt may not be as useful for a dysfunctional left ventricle. Experimental data is limited at present.

We report the case of a 3-year-old asymptomatic girl (12 kg, 96 cm) who was diagnosed with a large iatrogenic left ventricular pseudoaneurysm (LVP) on follow-up ultrasound, 14 months after apical muscular ventricular septal defect (VSD) closure with a 10 mm Amplatzer Muscular VSD occluder (Abbott, USA) due to device erosion. The LVP was successfully occluded using detachable Penumbra coils, with complete thrombo-exclusion confirmed at 12-month follow-up.

Background: Perimembranous ventricular septal defect (PMVSD) is a prevalent congenital heart disease, presenting challenges in predicting spontaneous closure, which is crucial for therapeutic decisions. Existing models mainly rely on structured echocardiographic parameters or restricted data. This study introduces an artificial intelligence (AI)-based model, which uses natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning with the aim of improving spontaneous closure predictability in PMVSD.

Complete transposition of the great arteries is a common life-threatening complex cyanotic congenital heart disease in infants, resulting in the operation usually performed about one week after birth. However, little is known about the surgical strategy and experience of transposition of the great arteries with an intact ventricular septum in older patients. Herein, we present an abandoned 7-year-old boy with severe cyanosis with clubbed fingers and toes and then diagnosed with transposition of the great arteries with an intact ventricular septum, atrial septal defect, patent ductus arteriosus, and pulmonary hypertension.
