    A new classification system for ventricular septal defects (VSDs) was developed and validated in 220 hearts. This precise VSD classification has significant surgical implications.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Pathology
    • Pediatric Cardiology
    • Congenital Heart Disease

    Background:

    • Ventricular septal defects (VSDs) are common congenital heart abnormalities.
    • Accurate classification is crucial for understanding VSDs and guiding surgical interventions.
    • Existing classifications may lack the precision needed for effective surgical planning.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To propose a novel, clinically significant classification system for ventricular septal defects.
    • To categorize VSDs based on their anatomical location within the ventricular septum.
    • To assess the utility and surgical relevance of the proposed classification.

    Main Methods:

    • Study of 220 hearts with VSDs, all exhibiting atrioventricular and ventriculoarterial concordance.

  • Division of the ventricular septum into membranous and muscular portions (inlet, trabecular, outlet/infundibular).
  • Categorization of defects into perimembranous, muscular, and subarterial infundibular types based on anatomical location.

    • Main Results:

    • Identified three primary VSD types: perimembranous, muscular, and subarterial infundibular.
    • Perimembranous defects were observed extending into inlet, trabecular, or infundibular septa.
    • Muscular defects were located within or between the inlet, trabecular, or infundibular septa.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed VSD classification is anatomically precise and clinically relevant.
    • The classification system is practical for use in catheterization laboratories.
    • The enhanced precision offered by this classification holds considerable surgical significance for VSD management.
