Innovative Transcatheter Ventricular Septal Defect Closure Utilizing an Atrial Septal Device in Small Infants: A Case
1Pediatric Department, Faculty of Medicine, King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah, SAU.
Transcatheter closure of muscular ventricular septal defects (VSD) in infants is feasible using atrial septal occluders. This approach offers benefits, but careful device selection is crucial for successful outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Cardiology
- Interventional Cardiology
- Congenital Heart Disease
Background:
- Ventricular septal defect (VSD) is the most common pediatric congenital heart anomaly.
- Surgical closure was standard until transcatheter closure emerged in the late 1980s.
- Device innovation has advanced VSD transcatheter closure techniques.
