Abstract
“Swiss-cheese” multiple muscular ventricular septal defects (VSDs) are often very challenging to close. Herein we describe our trans-ventricular approach that allows simple and effective closure of multiple muscular VSDs and does not appear to adversely affect ventricular function. (Video 1 and 2)
期刊介绍:
Operative Techniques in Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery provides richly illustrated articles on techniques in thoracic and cardiovascular surgery written by renowned surgeons. Each issue presents cardiothoracic topics in adult cardiac, congenital, and general thoracic surgery. Each specialty of interest to the thoracic and cardiovascular surgeon is explored through two different approaches to a specific surgical challenge. Each article is thoroughly illustrated with original line drawings, actual intraoperative photos, and supporting tables and graphs.
