Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To access the possibility, methods and efficacy of simultaneous transcatheter therapy for ventricular septal defect ( VSD ) combined with atrial septal defect (ASD).
METHODS:In 68 patients with VSD, four patients ranging from 3 to 24 years old were combined with ASD. The diameters of perimembranous VSD were 2 approximately 10.5 mm, and the diameters of secundum ASD were 4.6 approximately 7 mm under the echocardiography before the operation. Another 4 patients with VSD occluded by left ventriculography: 3 patients were occluded by VSD occluder first, and then occluded by ASD occuder. The other was only occluded by VSD occluder.
RESULTS:All VSD was treated successfully at one time in 4 patients. The diameters of VSD occluder were 4, 8, 10, and 16 mm. ASD was occluded successfully at one time in 3 patients. The diameters of ASD occluder were 8, 10, and 10 mm. The successful rate of the operation was 100%. No complication occurred in the operation and follow-up.
CONCLUSION:Simultaneous transcatheter closure for VSD combined with ASD is a safe, feasible and effective therapy.
