23 wrz 2020 · Overall, 53% of patients with surgically closed VSDs were initially discharged at age <10 years (median age, 6.5 years; range, 2–8 years) and 47% were ≥10 years (median age, 19 years; range, 14–53 years).
1 wrz 2021 · All surgically closed VSDs were operated through median sternotomy between 1964 and 2015 at a median age of 6.3 years (total range, 1.4–54 years), with 20 patients operated at <10 years of age (median, 5.5 years; total range, 1.4–8.6 years) and 10 patients operated at >10 years of age (median, 31 years; total range, 17–54 years).
24 lis 2022 · Dissecting the risk of mortality in surgically closed patients, our data show a 30-year survival after surgical VSD closure of 90% which is in line with previously published papers showing 40-year survival rates of 86%, 4 81%, 8 and 79%, 9 respectively.
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 ...
7 sie 2023 · Older patients with VSDs report lower self‐perceived physical functioning, lower general health, and higher stress levels, all in line with previous findings, like lower exercise capacity and dysfunctional cognitive abilities, in adults with VSDs.
2 lut 2023 · The results show that people born with VSD had 10 years lower life expectancy than the general population. Of the people with VSD, 85% survive to 60 years versus 94% for the general population. The differences in the percentages surviving to 80 years were further increased.
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 ...
