This study reviews global experiences with transcatheter and intraoperative closure of ventricular septal defects (VSDs) using specialized devices. It details device descriptions, techniques, and personal insights for VSD treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Interventional Cardiology
  • Medical Device Technology

Background:

  • Ventricular septal defects (VSDs) are common congenital heart abnormalities requiring closure.
  • Transcatheter and intraoperative closure offer alternative treatment modalities to traditional surgery.
  • The Rashkind and Clamshell devices represent key innovations in VSD closure.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a comprehensive overview of worldwide experience with VSD closure using Rashkind and Clamshell devices.
  • To share personal insights and communications regarding the application of these devices.
  • To provide detailed technical information on device deployment for VSD treatment.

Main Methods:

  • Review of global clinical experience with transcatheter and intraoperative VSD closure.
