Transcatheter treatment of a large traumatic ventricular septal defect

Transcatheter treatment of a large traumatic ventricular septal defect

We report the first successful transcatheter closure of a large traumatic ventricular septal defect in a 16‐year‐old adolescent. The risks of standard open heart repair using cardiopulmonary bypass were felt to be prohibitive due to coexistent injuries. This case demonstrates the feasibility of tran...

Zusammenfassung:We report the first successful transcatheter closure of a large traumatic ventricular septal defect in a 16‐year‐old adolescent. The risks of standard open heart repair using cardiopulmonary bypass were felt to be prohibitive due to coexistent injuries. This case demonstrates the feasibility of transcatheter therapy for traumatic ventricular septal defects. Catheter Cardiovasc Interv 2004;61:144–146. © 2004 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
