Why the study?
Is transcatheter device closure feasible and safe in children weighing ≤10 kg with moderate to large perimembranous ventricular septal defects?
Is transcatheter device closure feasible and safe in children weighing ≤10 kg with moderate to large perimembranous ventricular septal defects?
Transcatheter device closure of moderate to large perimembranous ventricular septal defects in small children weighing 10 kg or less is feasible and achieves an 85.7% success rate.
Device closure of moderate to large pmVSDs in children weighing ≤10 kg is feasible and safe with a success rate of 85.7%. Careful selection of patients and avoidance of oversizing the defect makes the immediate and midterm results acceptable.
