| Abstract |
|
The traumatic ventricular septal defect (VSD) is a rare but potentially life threatening complication of chest wall injury. The traumatic VSD occurs in up to 4.5% of penetrating cardiac trauma. Most of the patients are usually operated on because of heart failure and/or significant left-to-right shunt. The feasibility of surgical repair under cardiopulmonary bypass may be affected by coexisting pulmonary, cerebral or other vascular injuries. Transcatheter closure of VSD is being considered as an alternative therapeutic modality to surgery in order to avoid the potential risk of cardiopulmonary bypass. We report a patient who underwent a successful transcatheter closure of VSD with an Amplatzer VSD occluder. The patient had a residual VSD with significant left-to-right shunt after surgical repair of post-traumatic VSD using cardiopulmonary bypass. |
