INJURY to the invisible subendocardial conduction system during surgical closure of congenital defects in the ventricular septum is an uncommon but extremely grave complication. 1,2 Impalement of ...

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, ...

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.

Evidence-based recommendations on transcatheter endovascular closure of perimembranous ventricular septal defect. This involves inserting a small blocking device (called an occluder) into the heart.

Patients with atrioventricular (AV) block who don’t have an indication for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) do better when treated with conduction-system pacing versus right ventricular septal ...

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 ...
