This case report highlights challenges of transcatheter closure for VSD in a child with tetralogy of Fallot, indicating potential complications from VSD patch leakage.
Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is most common cyanotic congenital heart disease (CHD), representing up to 7% of all CHDs. The prevalence of ventricular septal defect (VSD) patch leakage after the surgical repair of TOF is reported to be around 9%. VSD patch leakage after TOF repair, depending on the size and remaining pulmonary stenosis can lead to several complications as like native VSD. Thranscatheter closure of a such defects always challenging.
