This study evaluates results of radical correction of simple and complex ventricular septal defect in 85 children. 35 children were under 3 years of age. Two babies operated at the age of 6 and 8 months in a critical condition died after surgery. Total operation mortality was 2.3%. In 51 patients examined one year and more after surgery, the long-term results are in 90% of the cases excellent and in 10% favourable. In none of the patients did the authors find an unfavourable result of the operation. The authors regard radical surgical correction of ventricular septal defect as a method of choice regardless of the patient's age and weight.

Transcatheter closure (TCC) of certain ventricular septal defect (VSD) subtypes typically requires arteriovenous loop (AVL) formation or retrograde transarterial deployment. Upfront transvenous cannulation from the right ventricle avoids arterial access and loop-related complications. We retrospectively reviewed data of patients who underwent TCC for perimembranous, intraconal, and post-surgical residual VSDs at our institution (January 2019-December 2023).

A 2-month-old Shiba Inu was presented to an emergency veterinary clinic with decreased activity and was diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension secondary to a ventricular septal defect. The dog was referred to the TUAT Veterinary Medical Center for further evaluation. During treatment, a diverticulum was incidentally identified at the apex of the left ventricle.

Objectives: This retrospective study aimed to investigate the feasibility of surgical closure of ventricular septal defect in children with trisomy 18 by assessing perioperative events and long-term survival.
Methods: From April 2008 to March 2024, 41 consecutive patients were referred to us for ventricular septal defect surgery. The defect was closed in 35 patients at the end (median age, 16 months; median body weight, 5.

Introduction: A leadless pacemaker (LLPM) was recommended for a patient with intermittent complete heart block and near-syncope.
Methods And Results: Delivery of LLPM is through a large sheath that has limited deflection and steerability. This report describes the successful deployment of a ventricular LLPM in a patient with prior surgical correction of AV septal defect with subsequent significant right atrial enlargement.
