Abstract:
Late presentation of patients with large ventricular septal defect (VSD) and elevated pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) is not uncommon in developing countries. Surgical VSD closure in these patients carries risks of persistent pulmonary hypertension, right ventricular failure, and mortality. Several techniques for creation of valved patches or fenestrated patches have been developed to address these issues. We have successfully used a simple and easily reproducible technique in which a cruciate fenestration is created in the patch used for VSD closure.
