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 ...
7 cze 2024 · 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.
14 lis 2006 · Ventricular septal defect (VSD) is a common congenital heart defect in both children and adults. Management of this lesion has changed dramatically in the last 50 years. Catheter-based therapy for VSD closure, now in the clinical trial phase, is another step in the evolution of treatment for this disorder.
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 ...
Survival after surgical ventricular septal defect (VSD) closure compared with a reference population. There was no difference in 15-year survival of operated patients compared with the Minnesota white population (p = 0.747).
23 wrz 2020 · Young patients with surgically closed VSDs reached peak oxygen uptake of 38.4±8 mL/min per kg and control participants reached 47.1±8 mL/min per kg (P<0.01). Patients with unrepaired VSDs reached 35.8±10 mL/min per kg, whereas control participants reached 46.3±8 mL/min per kg.
