In this article we report an unusual case of dextrocardia patient with perimembranous ventricular septal defect (VSD) whose defect is closed by percutaneous method with Amplatzer Duct Occluder-II device. To our best knowledge, this was the first time this device has been used to close a membranous defect in a patient with dextrocardia. Our case demonstrates the feasibility of percutaneous VSD closure in challenging patients by using appropiate techniques and devices for particular patients.

Background: Perimembranous ventricular septal defect (VSD) can be classified as having trabecular, inlet, or outlet extension. The surgical approach used in patch closure depends on the which valve of the tricuspid valve to suture around and the avoidance of the specialized conducting system. This retrospective study evaluated the usefulness of the "En face view" method for classifying perimembranous VSD.

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.

Aims: In repaired tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF), the septal anatomical isthmuses (AI), AI 3, between the ventricular septal defect (VSD) and pulmonary annulus, and AI 4, between the VSD and tricuspid annulus, are important ventricular tachycardia (VT) substrates when slow conducting. Our aim was to assess the influence of VSD characteristics, specifically the presence of muscular or fibrous tissue at its border, on the presence or absence of septal AIs, potentially related to VT.
Methods And Results: All consecutive rTOF patients who underwent electroanatomical mapping between January 2005 and March 2023 with an available surgical report providing VSD details (n = 91) were included.
