Survival into sixth decade of untreated pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect and major aorto-pulmonary collaterals: a magnetic resonance imaging study.

29 Jun 2009 A 56-year-old male with a history of untreated pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect diagnosed during childhood was referred to our institution for congestive heart failure. We describe the MR imaging findings that documented the presence ... Read more...

Common arterial trunk with atrioventricular septal defect: new observations pertinent to repair.

29 Apr 2009 BACKGROUND: The coexistence of abnormalities in both atrioventricular and ventriculoarterial junctions occasionally represents a formidable challenge to the surgeon. The association of common arterial trunk with atrioventricular septal defect is ... Read more...

Evaluation of a new hybrid technique for closure of muscular ventricular septal defects in a long-term setting.

27 Apr 2009 OBJECTIVE: Therapy for muscular ventricular septal defects beyond the moderator band, especially in neonates and infants, has always been challenging for both surgeons and cardiologists. Recently, we established a patch closure hybrid therapy for ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Heart Septal Defects, Ventricular'

Definition: Developmental abnormalities in any portion of the VENTRICULAR SEPTUM resulting in abnormal communications between the two lower chambers of the heart. Classification of ventricular septal defects is based on location of the communication, such as perimembranous, inlet, outlet (infundibular), central muscular, marginal muscular, or apical muscular defect.
