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.
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.
9 lis 2021 · Moderate: Survival rates for people with unrepaired moderate VSDs are a little bit lower, with about 86% of them surviving at least 25 years after diagnosis. Large: Survival rates for people with a large unrepaired VSD are much lower. Only about 61% of these individuals are still alive 25 years after their diagnosis.
10 lis 2023 · Ventricular septal defect (VSD) is a mechanical complication of acute myocardial infarction (MI) with a very high mortality, despite advances in surgical and circulatory support. The tremendous hemodynamic disturbance and the severely fragile myocardium render surgical repair a great challenge.
8 mar 2024 · Ventricular septal defects (VSDs) are among the most common congenital heart lesions. VSDs occur in isolation or in combination with other congenital heart disease defects, as in an atrioventricular canal, tetralogy of Fallot, and, occasionally, D-transposition of the great arteries.
