14 kwi 2024 · Surgical repair of VSDs offers several benefits, including a reduced risk of endocarditis, potential improvement in PAH, and overall survival. In the absence of PAH, the operative mortality rate is approximately 1%.
Surgical closure of VSDs is safe; the mortality rate is less than 3%. The long-term outlook following surgery in both the early era 17 and more recent times 18 is generally good with rare residual shunts, frequent right bundle branch block, occasional pulmonary hypertension, infrequent heart block or sinus node dysfunction, and modest ...
VSDs were classified according to the Society of Thoracic Surgeons as type 2 (membranous, 72%) or type 1 (subarterial, 26%). Aortic regurgitation (AR) (28%), left ventricular dilation (20%), and pulmonary hypertension (20%) were the most common indications for closure.
The study found that the overall spontaneous closure rate for VSDs was 55%, with an estimated 42% closed within the 1 st year and 70% by age 6 years. Our estimated closure rate was slightly lower than other neonatal studies, which reported rates ranging from 59%–61% at 1 year to 82%–92% at 6 years.[ 16 , 17 ] This could be attributed to a ...

24 lis 2022 · Patients with surgically closed VSD displayed survival rates of 94% (95% CI: 92–96), 93% (95% CI: 91–95), 90% (95% CI: 87–93), and 89% (95% CI: 86–92) at 10, 20, 30, and 40 years after surgical closure .
7 cze 2024 · Last updated: 07 Jun 2024. Summary. Ventricular septal defects (VSDs) are defects in the interventricular septum that allow shunting of blood between the left and right ventricles. Usually congenital, but rarely acquired after myocardial infarction or trauma. May be associated with other congenital defects such as tetralogy of Fallot.
