Ventricular septal defect (VSD) is a birth defect in babies that causes a hole in the wall (or septum) between a baby’s lower heart chambers. Heart chambers are also called right and left ventricles.

Muscular ventricular septal defects (mVSD) appearing together with other septal defects are frequently regarded as ‘concomitant’ pathologies, that nevertheless should be considered while the patient ...

In children with perimembranous ventricular septal defects (VSDs), closure with a catheter-delivered occluder device is safe, providing midterm outcomes similar to those of open-heart surgery, ...

Percutaneous closure of symptomatic ventricular septal defects in children can be achieved with off-label use of an occluder device. A research letter published online November 7, 2012, ahead of print ...

After bicuspid aortic valve, ventricular septal defects (VSDs) are the most common congenital heart abnormalities. Of all congenital defects, around 20% are solitary lesions and another 10% are ...

Abstract: The primary objective of this project is to design, fabricate, and test a small, integrated camera system for aiding in the visualization and surgical repair of certain types of ventricular ...

A baby’s heart begins to form just weeks after conception, and while most hearts develop perfectly, congenital heart defects remain the most common birth anomalies. Among these, a Ventricular Septal ...

Fetal echo is short for fetal echocardiogram, an ultrasound test doctors use to look for congenital heart disease (CHD). This disease affects around 1% of births each year and encompasses a wide range ...

A ventricular septal defect (VSD) occurs when there is direct communication between the left and right ventricles. This can be a congenital anomaly or acquired as a complication of a myocardial ...

A ventricular septal defect (VSD) is a hole in the septum, which is the wall separating the two lower chambers of the heart. In many cases, the hole closes on its own. A ventricular septal defect is a ...
