Background: Ventricular septal defect ( VSD ) is the most frequently occurring congenital cardiac disease, accounts nearly 15-30% of all cases. Surgery is still the corrective therapy with high success and low complication but having some problems with: cardiopulmonary bypass, anesthesia, ICU, sternalitis, chest scar, AV block...
Recently many progress in cardiac intervention applied to treat congenital heart disease especially percutaneous VSD closure. Currently patients with VSD have other choice to cure safely, effectively and less complication.
Objectives: To evaluate 12 months rusults from transpercutaneous closure of perimembranous VSD by modified double – disk symmatric devices ( symmatric occluder).
Methods: This is the descriptive clinical trial and follow-up.
Result: 41 patients selected by echocardiography, 37 patients were closed successfully (90,2% success rate). No significant complication (AVB…) and 1 patient nonsignificant shunt is 2.7% after 12 month follow-up.
Conclusions: Transpercutaneous closure of perimembranous VSD by symmatric occluder is effective and safe and more, longer follow-up.
