Implication

May support apical left ventriculotomy for muscular VSDs without severe PVD; leaves open safety and efficacy in broader populations.

Structured PICO

Does left ventriculotomy provide effective closure of muscular ventricular septal defects in children?

Population

10 children with muscular ventricular septal defects (VSDs), ages 5 months to 8 years and 3 months. Diagnosis established by cardiac catheterisation and left ventricular angiocardiogram.

Intervention

Left ventriculotomy near the apex for closure of muscular VSDs, performed on cardiopulmonary bypass with moderate hypothermia and intermittent anoxic arrest.

Outcome

Postoperative survival and clinical evidence of residual or recurrent VSDhard clinical

Left ventriculotomy near the apex is an effective approach for closing muscular VSDs in children, avoiding residual or recurrent defects.
