Why the study?
Does temporary tricuspid valve detachment safely facilitate transatrial closure of congenital VSD without causing long-term tricuspid valve dysfunction?
Does temporary tricuspid valve detachment safely facilitate transatrial closure of congenital VSD without causing long-term tricuspid valve dysfunction?
Temporary tricuspid valve detachment is a safe technique to facilitate transatrial VSD closure, particularly in younger and smaller patients, without causing long-term tricuspid valve dysfunction.
