... with a previously known unrepaired ventricular septal defect (VSD) who presented with intermittent fever and chills after dental treatment and was diagnosed with isolated right-sided mural infective endocarditis associated with a muscular-type VSD. Echocardiography revealed a low echogenic, mobile vegetation along...

...Charlien Gabriels; Marc Gewillig; Bart Meyns; Els Troost; Alexander Van De Bruaene; Sara Van Damme; Werner Budts Background: Doubly committed ventricular septal defect (dcVSD) is the least common type of VSD. Because published studies are rather scarce, this study aimed at evaluating the midterm...

...Dimitrios V. Avgerinos; Dmitriy N. Feldman; Arash Salemi Ventricular septal defect (VSD) is an uncommon but potentially deadly complication of transmural myocardial infarction (MI). Emergency surgical treatment has traditionally offered the best chance for survival. However, operative intervention...

...Iosif M. Gulkarov; Lorenzo Anez-Bustillos; S. Chiu Wong; Arash Salemi Development of ventricular septal defect (VSD) is a rare but serious complication of transmural myocardial infarction (MI). The incidence of post-MI VSDs is reduced significantly with thrombolytic therapy, yet mortality remains...

...Qijun Zheng; Zhijing Zhao; Jian Zuo; Jian Yang; Hongbing Wang; Shiqiang Yu; Dinghua Yi Objective: Given the increasing popularity of percutaneous closure of ventricular septal defects (VSDs), a comparative analysis of the different treatments (surgical vs. percutaneous closure) for VSDs is needed...

... that the acquired obstruction was due to excessive tricuspid valve tissue, while Doppler studies suggested a similar gradient between the right ventricle and the ascending aorta. This rare case should alert the clinician to the possibility of an acquired obstruction of the ventricular septal defect...

...Giorgio Puviani; Luciano Della Casa; Leonardo Venezia Systolic time intervals (STI) were analyzed in 34 patients with isolated ventricular septal defect (VSD) and unidirectional left-to-right shunt. 14 of the patients who underwent corrective surgery were followed-up for at least 10 years...

...Renate Plass; Wolfgang Münster; Semjon Ivanov; Ursula Stürmer This study describes 8 patients suffering from aortic insufficiency caused by prolapse of a sinus valsalvae and aortic valve cusp, in association with a ventricular septal defect. Accurate diagnosis is possible only through...

...Christian Spies; Franz Ujivari; Rainer Schraeder Post-operative ventricular septal defect (VSD) following septal myectomy in patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) is a rare complication which may warrant closure. Repeat early sternotomy for surgical closure of the VSD seems...

... infarction (MI). Within 10 years, we identified 36 patients with 39 echocardiographically confirmed MC within 30 days of MI: ventricular septal defect (17 cases), papillary muscle rupture (10 cases), and left ventricular free wall rupture (12 cases). They were compared to 41 controls with an uncomplicated...

...Ching-Feng Cheng; Jou-Kou Wang; Mei-Hwan Wu Ventricular septal defect (VSD) with posterior deviation of the outlet septum is frequently associated with left ventricular outflow obstruction and aortic arch anomalies. In this study, 17 patients with large VSD and posterior deviation of the outlet...
