Objectives. We aimed to explore the radiologic characteristics and interventional strategies for perimembranous ventricular septal defect (pmVSD) with aneurysm. Methods. 257 patients who underwent transcatheter closure of pmVSD with aneurysm were included in our study. We retrospectively reviewed the left ventricular opening of the aneurysm (a), diameter of the midsegment of the aneurysm (b), and diameter of the right ventricular opening of the aneurysm (c). If there were multiple defects within the aneurysm, the largest defect was denoted as c1 and so forth. We developed a novel VSD classification method in which pmVSD with aneurysm was classified into three types (A, B, and C). When a >b ≥ c, it was classified as type A, when b > a ≥ c, it was type B, and when c > a ≥ b, it was type C; c/c1 described the relationship among defects. Results. All of the 257 cases of pmVSD with aneurysm were defined using left ventriculography: type A, 60, type B, 58, and type C, 139. Transcatheter closure was attempted in 244 patients and succeeded in 227 cases (success rate was 93.0%; 227/244). Forty symmetric VSD occluders and 13 asymmetric VSD occluders were used for type A aneurysm occlusion; 31 symmetric VSD occluders, 19 asymmetric VSD occluders, and one Amplatzer duct occluder II (ADOII) were used for type B; 59 VSD symmetric occluders, 59 asymmetric VSD occluders, three eccentric VSD occluders, and two ADOII were used for type C. Within 24 hours after procedure, 2.2% patients had postprocedural residual shunt, and 2.2% experienced malignant arrhythmia (including type II second-degree AVB, cAVB, and CLBBB). Two hundred and twelve patients completed follow-up (93%, 212/227). No new severe complications were reported during follow-up, except in one patient who underwent surgery (removal of the device, VSD repair, and tricuspid valvuloplasty) due to severe postprocedural tricuspid regurgitation. Conclusions. It is safe and effective to apply this method for the classification of pmVSD with aneurysm and its interventional strategy.

Background: Ventricular septal defect (VSD) is a commonly encountered congenital heart defect. The aim of this study was to analyze five years’ experience with patients who had undergone transcatheter closure of VSD using retrograde transarterial approach.Methods: It was a retrospective study conducted from December 2014 to December 2019. Cases planned for VSD closure in retrograde approach were included. A total of 147 cases fulfilled the criteria after left ventricular angiography and procedure was performed without forming arteriovenous loop. Follow up was planned at 1, 3, 6, 12 months and yearly thereafter.Results: The mean age of the patients was 5.94±4.67 years and mean weight was 17.93±8.26 kg. Perimembranous VSD was present in 70.06% cases and the size of the VSD was 5.5±1.8 mm. Amplatzer duct occluder II was the commonest device used (55.24%). Mean device size was 6.2±1.8 (5-8 mm). Complete occlusion was achieved immediately in 94.56% cases, and after one month in 99.36% cases. Four (2.78%) cases were postponed for malpositioning and encroachment of aortic valve. One patient (2.22%) had tiny residual VSD up to 3 years follow up. Bacterial endocarditis was noticed in one patient (0.80%) at one year follow up. No evidence of complete heart block was encountered in follow up period of six to 60 months.Conclusions: This study recommends that retrograde transarterial approach for closure of moderate to small VSD is safe, effective, and minimally invasive, can be performed in short time with less radiation hazard and less trauma to conducting tissues.

Background: Arrhythmia is the most common complication after transcatheter closure of a ventricular septal defect (VSD). However, the effects of postprocedural left anterior fascicular block are not clear. This study presents the clinical characteristics, prognosis, and related risk factors of left anterior fascicular block after transcatheter closure of a VSD in children.Methods: The clinical and follow-up data of the patients in the Heart Center of Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from June 2009 to October 2018 were reviewed. And 30 cases were eligible out of all 1,371 cases.Results: An electrocardiogram showed a left anterior fascicular block within 3 days, and most patients gradually returned to normal within 1–2 years, showing a dynamic change. Left ventricular end-diastolic dimension Z-score ranged from −2 to 2 in all children, and no decrease of left ventricular ejection fraction was found in all children. The high ratio between VSD size and body surface area [p < 0.05, odds ratio (OR) 2.6, 95% CI: 1.136–6.113] and large diameter difference between the occluder size and VSD size (p < 0.05, OR 2.1, 95% CI: 1.036–4.609) were independent risk factors for postprocedural left anterior fascicular block.Conclusions: The incidence of postprocedural left anterior fascicular block is not that low, and the overall prognosis is quite good at the current follow-up stage. No progressive severity has been found, such as complete left bundle branch block, double (triple) bundle branch block, and atrioventricular block, to have an influence on cardiac systolic and diastolic function.

Background: Cardiac remodeling is important issue after surgical closure of ventricular septal defect.Objective: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate cardiac remodeling by echocardiography by measuring the ejection fraction, fractional shortening, left ventricular internal diameter during diastole (LVIDd) and left ventricular internal diameter during systole (LVIDs) after surgical closure of ventricular septal defect in different age group. Methodology: This prospective cohort studies was conducted in the Department of Cardiac Surgery at National Institute of Cardiovascular Disease (NICVD), Dhaka. Patient with surgical closure of VSD were enrolled into this study purposively and were divided into 3 groups according to the age. In group A (n=10), patients were within the age group of 2.0 to 6.0 years; age of group B (n=8) patients were 6.1-18.0 years and the group C (n=6) aged range was 18.1-42.0 years. Echocardiographic variables such as ejection fraction, fractional shortening, LVIDd, LVIDs were taken preoperatively and at 1st and 3rd month of postoperative values. Result: A total number of 24 patients was recruited for this study. The mean ages of all groups were 12.60±12.09. After 1 month ejection fraction were decreased by 5.97%, 6.71% and 5.66% in group A, group B and group C respectively. After 3 months ejection fraction were increased by 6.13%, 5.13% and 5.14% in group A, group B and group C respectively. After 1 month fractional shortening were decreased by 13.55%, 9.30% and 9.09% in group A, group B and group C respectively. After 3 months fractional shortening were increased by 7.23%, 7.35% and 4.55% in group A, group B and group C respectively. After 1 month LVIDd were increased by 1.97%, 1.91% and 1.32% in group A, group B and group C respectively. After 3 months LVIDd were decreased by 10.84%, 9.89% and 7.34% in group A, group B and group C respectively. After 1 month LVIDs were increased by 2.19%, 2.86% and 1.98% in group A, group B and group C respectively. After 3 months LVIDs were decreased by 11.68%, 10.97% and 8.87% in group A, group B and group C respectively.Conclusion: Cardiac remodeling occurred after surgical closure of ventricular septal defect and remodeling were more significant in younger age group.

<strong>Background:</strong> Acute changes in left ventricular diastolic function shortly after ASD closure in elderly patients have not been well known. We aimed to investigate acute changes in left ventricular end diastolic pressure (LVEDP) in elderly patients following transcatheter closure of atrial septal defect (ASD). <br /><strong>Methods:</strong> All 19 adults with ASDs who underwent transcatheter closure between June 2013 and December 2014 were enrolled. LVEDP was measured prior to device closure and compared with that immediately following device closure and 15 minutes after device closure. <br /><strong>Results:</strong> The median age of the patients was 48 years old. The baseline E/e’ and LVEDP values were 8.3 ± 2.8 and 13 ± 3 mmHg. The LVEDP value immediately following closure was 19 ± 4 mmHg, and 15 minutes after closure was 16 ± 4 mmHg. The median increase in the LVEDP value immediately following closure was 6 mmHg, which significantly differed from that prior to closure. The LVEDP 15 minutes after closure decreased but remained significantly higher than the value observed immediately after closure. No significant changes were observed with regard to E/e’ at either 1 day or 3 months following closure. The LVEDP value <br />15 minutes after device closure was significantly correlated with those observed before closure and immediately following closure; however, no significant correlations were observed with regard to patient age, Qp/Qs, E/e’ before closure, or E/e’ 3 months after device closure.<br /><strong>Conclusion:</strong> LVEDP in adults with ASDs significantly increases following device closure. LVEDP before closure predicts LVEDP following device closure.

Abstract Background A rare, but serious, complication following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is the occurrence of an iatrogenic ventricular septal defect (VSD). Case summary We describe a case of an 80-year-old female who was referred with severe aortic stenosis for TAVR. Following thorough evaluation, the heart team consensus was to proceed with implantation via a transapical approach of an ACURATE neo M 25 mm valve (Boston Scientific, Natick, MA, USA). The valve was deployed harnessing transoesophageal echocardiographic (TOE) guidance under rapid pacing with post-dilation. Directly afterwards a very high VSD close to the aortic annulus was detected. As the patient was haemodynamically stable, the procedure was ended. The next day another TOE revealed a shunt volume (left-to-right ventricle) between 50% and 60%. Because the defect was partly located between the stent struts of the ACURATE valve decision was made to fix this leakage with implantation of a further valve and we chose an EVOLUT Pro 29 mm (Medtronic Inc., Minneapolis, MN, USA). The valve-in-valve was implanted 2–3 mm below the lower edge of the first valve, more towards the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) with excellent result: VSD was reduced to a very small residual shunt without any hemodynamic relevance. Discussion We suggest that an iatrogenic VSD located near the annulus may be treated percutaneously in a bail-out situation with implantation of a second valve that should be implanted slightly more into the LVOT to cover the VSD.
