1 wrz 2021 · Correlations between a low resting heart rate and SDNN for patients with surgically closed VSDs and their controls, as well as for patients with unrepaired VSDs and their controls. HR indicates heart rate; SDNN, SD of the normal‐to‐normal interbeat intervals; and VSD, ventricular septal defect.
When one examines Fontan procedures in patients with unbalanced AVSDs, the mortality rates (17 to 31.7%) were higher 144, 145 and actuarial survival rates (66.5% at 5 years and 64.4% at 15 years) were lower 146 and there were more surgical and catheter re-interventions (51.9%) 145.
24 lis 2022 · Current data suggest that mortality up to 40 years after surgical closure is slightly higher than in the general population, 4, 8, 9 while long-term survival data on patients with unrepaired VSDs are undescribed. Using national medical registries, we report the survival of patients with isolated congenital VSD, unrepaired or surgically closed ...
10 paź 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).
7 sie 2023 · Background. Older adults with a congenital ventricular septal defect (VSD) recently exhibited reduced heart rate variability and exercise capacity. It is unknown whether these findings affect health‐related quality of life. Methods and Results.
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.
26 paź 2021 · Young age at repair could lead to prolonged postoperative stay and a higher reoperation rate. Surgical closure of multiple ventricular septal defects (VSDs) is challenging and associated with a high complication rate.
