"Swiss-cheese" ventricular septal defects present complex treatment challenges. Despite difficult defect visualization and closure, complete septation is the treatment of choice. We present the case of a 2-year-old with residual apical "Swiss-cheese" ventricular septal defects after failed percutaneous device closure with 2 occluder devices. Surgical removal of 1 device and primary closure of the defects via right apical ventriculotomy resulted in successful complete septation.

Background: "Swiss Cheese" ventricular septal defects represent a serious congenital heart disease with suboptimal clinical outcomes and a lack of consensus regarding its management. This study presents mid-term follow-up results of surgical repairs for "Swiss Cheese" ventricular septal defects, utilizing the two-patch and right ventricle apex-exclusion technique.
Methods: A retrospective review was conducted on 13 patients who underwent surgical repair utilizing the two-patch and right ventricle apex-exclusion technique at our institution between May 2014 and October 2021.

Gerbode defect, an anomalous connection between the left ventricle and right atrium, is often congenital but can be acquired or iatrogenically formed. We present an exceedingly rare case of this defect associated with multiple valve perforation in an otherwise healthy patient with bicuspid aortic valve and endocarditis.

Background And Aim: We showed in our anatomical review, ventricular septal defects existing as multiple entities can be considered in terms of three major subsets. We address here the diagnostic challenges, associated anomalies, the role and techniques of surgical instead of interventional closure, and the outcomes, including reinterventions, for each subset.
Methods: We reviewed 80 published investigations, noting radiographic findings, and the results of clinical imaging elucidating the location, number, size of septal defects, associated anomalies, and the effect of severe pulmonary hypertension.

Background: Over the course of time, new developments associated with the embryogenesis of the murine heart have served to clarify the developmental processes observed in the human heart. This evidence allows for the creation of a developmental framework for many congenital cardiac defects.
Aims: We aim to solidify the framework related to the categorization of both solitary and multiple ventricular septal defects.
