Tricuspid leaflet detachment improves visualization and accuracy of closure of ventricular septal defects via the transatrial route. Between July 1998 and March 2001, surgical correction was performed in 296 cases of isolated ventricular septal defect, 215 cases of tetralogy of Fallot, and 16 cases of double-outlet right ventricle. Of these, 132 patients (79 with isolated ventricular septal defect, 49 with tetralogy of Fallot, and 4 with double-outlet right ventricle) underwent transatrial repair with temporary detachment of tricuspid leaflets for ventricular septal defect closure. The septal leaflet was detached in most cases, with anterior or posterior leaflets being detached when indicated. Median duration of intensive care was 3.6 days, and median hospital stay was 7 days. There was no incidence of tricuspid regurgitation attributable to leaflet detachment, as confirmed by postoperative echocardiography. Reoperation was not required for a residual defect or tricuspid regurgitation. The benefits of temporary leaflet detachment for transatrial repair of various difficult defects far outweigh the risk of postoperative tricuspid regurgitation.

AbstractThe hybrid perventricular approach for the closure of trabecular ventricular septal defects is an attractive treatment modality for small children. Worldwide experience has shown that procedure success is influenced by the defect anatomical accessibility, operators’ expertise, and device technical features. In May 2018, a new promising device, the KONAR-Multi-functional™ ventricular septal defect occluder (Lifetech, Shenzhen, China), obtained CE-marking for septal defect transcatheter closure after the first-in-man implantation in 2013. Herein, this is the first report of successful perventricular closure of ventricular septal defect using this new device in a child with significant co-morbidities.

A 7-year-old boy with a history of neonatal pulmonary artery banding underwent almost complete closure of a sieve-like “Swiss-cheese” ventricular septal defect, using a combination sandwich patch technique through a right ventriculotomy. Although defects existed in the high-, mid-, and low-trabecular septa, a right ventriculotomy and division of the muscle trabeculations continuing the septal and moderator bands helped delineate the edges of the defects. Although patients with “Swiss-cheese” ventricular septal defects may be candidates for a Fontan operation conventionally, a combination patch technique could be considered the procedure of choice.

AbstractIt is timely, in the 125th anniversary of the initial description by Fallot of the hearts most frequently seen in patients presenting with “la maladie bleu”, that we revisit his descriptions, and discuss his findings in the light of ongoing controversies. Fallot described three hearts in his initial publication, and pointed to the same tetralogy of morphological features that we recognise today, namely, an interventricular communication, biventricular connection of the aorta, subpulmonary stenosis, and right ventricular hypertrophy. In one of the hearts, he noted that the aorta arose exclusively from the right ventricle. In other words, one of his initial cases exhibited double-outlet right ventricle. When we now compare findings in hearts with the features of the tetralogy, we can observe significant variations in the nature of the borders of the plane of deficient ventricular septation when viewed from the aspect of the right ventricle. We also find that this plane, usually described as the ventricular septal defect, is not the same as the geometric plane separating the cavities of the right and left ventricles. This means that the latter plane, the interventricular communication, is not necessarily the same as the ventricular septal defect. We are now able to provide further insights into these features by examining hearts prepared from developing mice. Additional molecular investigations will be required, however, to uncover the mechanisms responsible for producing the morphological changes underscoring tetralogy of Fallot.

Objective. Phenotypic analysis of cardiac mesenchymal cells from patients with a ventricular septal defect and tetralogy of Fallot.Methods. The study included cardiac mesenchymal cells from 8 patients with ventricular septal defect and from 18 patients with tetralogy of Fallot who underwent surgery. Using the flow cytometry method, the content of the following antigens on the cell surface was evaluated: CD31, CD34, CD90, CD117, CD146, CD166, PDGFRB.Results. Cardiac mesenchymal cells from patients with ventricular septal defect are statistically significantly different from patients with tetralogy of Fallot in surface markers CD90 and PDGFRB. The content of a stem cell marker PDGFRB tends to decrease with age in patients with tetralogy of Fallot.Conclusion. The cells obtained from myocardial tissue from patients with tetralogy of Fallot and from patients with ventricular septal defects have characteristics of mesenchymal stem cells. The differences found between the cells from the two groups of patients indicate that pathology can affect the phenotype of cardiac mesenchymal cells. Apparently, the stem properties of the mesenchymal heart cells tend to decrease with age.

Background. B-type natriuretic peptide has been shown to be a very sensitive and specific marker of heart failure. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of percutaneous closure of ventricular septal defects with Amplatzer septal occluders on brain natriuretic peptide levels.Methods. Between 2008 and 2011, 23 patients underwent successfully percutaneous ventricular septal defect closure in 4 cardiology centers. Brain natriuretic peptide levels were measured in nine patients (4 male, mean ages were ) who underwent percutaneous closure with Amplatzer occluders for membranous or muscular ventricular septal defects were enrolled in the study. Brain natriuretic peptide levels were measured one day before and one month after the closure. Patients were evaluated clinically and by echocardiography one month after the procedure.Results. Percutaneous closures of ventricular septal defects were successfully performed in all patients. There was not any significant adverse event in patients group during followup. Decrease in brain natriuretic peptide levels after closure were statistically significant ( versus , ).Conclusion. Brain Natriuretic Peptide levels are elevated in patients with ventricular septal defects as compared to controls. Percutaneous closure of Ventricular Septal Defect with Amplatzer occluders decreases the BNP levels.

AbstractThe aim of our study was to elucidate the clinical and morphologic features of those perimembranous ventricular septal defects which extend between the ventricular outlets, particularly when found in association with anterior deviation of the muscular outlet septum and overriding of the aorta – the so called Eisenmenger ventricular septal defect. From 1990 through 1998, we have undertaken surgical correction in 203 patients with perimembranous ventricular septal defect. Of these, 15 patients had the Eisenmenger ventricular septal defect. We conducted retrospective analyses of the clinical records, catheterization data, and angiocardiographic and echocardiographic finding of these patients. Comparative studies were then made with the patients having tetralogy of Fallot, and those with simple perimembranous ventricular septal defects without overriding of the aorta. In the patients with the Eisenmenger ventricular septal defect, the extent of anterior deviation of the outlet septum was comparable with that seen in tetralogy of Fallot, but there was less rightward displacement of the aortic valvar orifice. In contrast to earlier investigators, however, we found evidence of progressive narrowing of the subpulmonary infundibulum in those with the Eisenmenger defect. These morphological features were reflected in the clinical features, since all patients showed evidence of increased pulmonary flow and congestive heart failure in early infancy, but with twothirds of them subsequently developing right-to-left shunting. We conclude, therefore, that the Eisenmenger ventricular septal defect is a discrete cardiac abnormality in which the morphologic substrate of anterior deviation of the outlet septum gives rise to a potential for progressive narrowing of the subpulmonary infundibulum. Surgical management, therefore, needs to take account of such narrowing as an additional cardinal morphologic feature.

AbstractHybrid cardiac surgery involves simultaneous catheter based and surgical treatment of heart diseases. We report a complete repair of dextro-transposition of the great arteries and perimembranous and muscular ventricular septal defects in a 5-month-old girl. This included an arterial switch operation followed by an off-bypass, echocardiographically guided per-ventricular muscular ventricular septal defect closure.

We performed an arterial switch operation in a patient with double outlet right ventricle with non-committed ventricular septal defect, and abnormal insertion of the tension apparatus of the tricuspid valve which produced moderate tricuspid regurgitation. This required extensive enlargement of the ventricular septal defect between the attachments of the cords of the tricuspid valve so as to create the interventricular rerouting that made possible the arterial switch operation. Postoperatively, we produced a straight, unobstructed, left ventricular outflow tract, improved the extent of tricuspid regurgitation, and achieved low right atrial pressures. Enlargement of the interventricular communication can set the scene for biventricular repair in this particular subset of patients with both arterial trunks arising from the morphologically right ventricle.
