  • Title: Perventricular closure of a post-traumatic muscular ventricular septal defect guided by transesophageal echocardiogram.
    Author: Bao W, Wang Y, Xu C, Meng G, Chen L, Song H.
    Journal: J Card Surg; 2014 Mar; 29(2):175-7. PubMed ID: 24266864.
    Abstract:
    Minimally invasive perventricular closure is emerging as an alternative to conventional open surgery in treating traumatic ventricular septal defects (VSDs). We report a case of successful perventricular closure of a post-traumatic muscular VSD in a patient who sustained blunt chest trauma in a motor vehicle accident. A larger Amplatzer muscular VSD occluder (16 mm in diameter) was used to close the VSD near the apex.
