This review discusses the management of ventricular septal defects (VSDs) and atrioventricular septal defects (AVSDs). There are several types of VSDs: perimembranous, supracristal, atrioventricular septal, and muscular.
21 paź 2022 · Open-heart surgery. This is the preferred procedure for repairing most ventricular septal defects. A surgeon uses a patch or stitches to close the hole between the lower heart chambers. This type of VSD surgery requires a heart-lung machine and an incision in the chest. Catheter procedure.
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.
The purpose of this surgery is to ease symptoms caused by the VSD and prevent long-term damage to the heart and lungs. While infants and children most often receive this type of operation, adults sometimes also need the surgery if their VSD was not diagnosed during childhood.
14 kwi 2024 · Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography are helpful in cases where anatomy is complex, such as VSD, accompanied by other congenital heart anomalies and defects in unusual locations that are hard to visualize by conventional TTE.
A hole in the septum between the heart's two lower chambers is called a ventricular septal defect (VSD). ASDs and VSDs allow blood to pass from the left side of the heart to the right side. This means that oxygen-rich blood can mix with oxygen-poor blood.
