Atrioventricular septal defect is a developmental irregularity in which a hole connects two or more chambers in your child’s heart. This hole may connect the top two, the bottom two, or all four ...

This paper presents serial cardiac-catheterization data showing spontaneous functional closure of large symptomatic defects in 3 infants. One had an associated moderate-sized patent ductus arteriosus ...

† Primum (2 patients), secundum (68 patients) and sinus defects (4 patients). § Surgical branch of the study. TEE = Transesophageal echocardiography. *Children and adults. † Percutaneous branch of the ...

Atrioventricular septal defects (AVSD) comprise a spectrum of congenital heart malformations characterised by a deficiency of the atrioventricular septum, often resulting in a common atrioventricular ...

Percutaneous closure of symptomatic ventricular septal defects in children can be achieved with off-label use of an occluder device. A research letter published online November 7, 2012, ahead of print ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . Adults with ventricular septal defects had poorer exercise capacity compared with adults without them, ...

In recent years, transcatheter intervention techniques have emerged as a promising alternative for the closure of perimembranous ventricular septal defect (VSD). The advancements in trancatheter VSD ...

In children with perimembranous ventricular septal defects (VSDs), closure with a catheter-delivered occluder device is safe, providing midterm outcomes similar to those of open-heart surgery, ...

Expert Rev Cardiovasc Ther. 2007;5(6):1135-1146. Diagnosing a secundum ASD is more often than not incidental because the defect normally causes symptoms late in adult life. Echocardiography and MRI ...
