Single patch closure of multiple VSDs through right atrial approach

Multiple ventricular septal defects (VSD) are traditionally considered as surgical challenges and often ventriculotomy is needed. We report our experience with single patch closure of multiple VSDs in 4 children with a median weight was 5.6 kg. VSDs were closed via right atrium with a single Goretex...

description Multiple ventricular septal defects (VSD) are traditionally considered as surgical challenges and often ventriculotomy is needed. We report our experience with single patch closure of multiple VSDs in 4 children with a median weight was 5.6 kg. VSDs were closed via right atrium with a single Goretex patch with no operative death and short mean intensive care stay. To conclude, surgical approach to multiple VSDs is still a challenge, but a select approach to septate through right atrium adds to the surgical armamentarium to handle this difficult problem.
