Abstract:
Cardiac traumatization may lead to severe complications. Transcatheter closure of a postraumatic ventricular septal defect (VSD) was successfully done using an Amplatzer septal occluder in a man who had previously undergone surgery for myocardial fissure and mitral valve dysfunction. In selected cases, the percutaneous approach may be a valuable option to close muscular VSDs.
