Trans-ventricular approach to “Swiss-cheese” multiple muscular ventricular septal defects is simple, effective and does not appear to adversely affect ventricular function.
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 2)
