Intraoperative Device Closure of Perimembranous Ventricular septal defects with Transthoracic Minimal Invasion
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 10
Abstract
Intraoperative device closure of perimembranous ventricular septal defects with transthoracic minimal invasion is one of the alternative methods to reduce the trauma of the conventional operation through a median sternotomy. We summarized our early experience of intraoperative device closure of perimembranous ventricular septal defects. Between September 2012 and December 2015, we performed transthoracic ventricular septal defect occlusion for 17 patients via a minimally invasive incision. A domestic delivery sheath and occlude were used during surgery. Inpatients data were reviewed. Procedure success was achieved in 17 cases. The deployment of the occluder was failed or terminated in 0 patients. During 9- 47 months of follow-up, there was one residual shunt. There was no occluder dislocation or thrombus-related complications. Intraoperative device closure of perimembranous ventricular septal defects using a minimally invasive incision is a feasible choice in selected patients.
