What are the different types of ventricular septal defects? Membranous VSDs are the most common type and originate inferior to the crista supraventricularis, yet still towards the left ventricular ...

The most common type of ventricular septal defect is the membranous variant. In this type, the hole is located below the aortic valve, which controls flow of blood from the left ventricle into the ...

Ventricular septal defect is an abnormal hole in the septum that separates the two bottom chambers of the heart called ventricles. Like Atrial septal defect (ASD), there are no evident reasons to ...

Despite ventricular septal defects being more common than atrial septal defects, fewer trials have been done of transcatheter closure. The available results do, however, suggest positive results ...

Finally, the VSD (15 x 15 mm) was repaired using a Dacron® patch (Invista North America S.A.R.L. Corporation, Wilmington, DE).

During the procedure, the complex VSD involving both membranous and subarterial regions was confirmed. The team performed incisions in the right atrium and pulmonary artery, successfully closing ...
