Key result
Transcatheter ventricular septal defect device closure was frequently associated with hemodynamic instability, with hypotension occurring in 40% of procedures.
Why the study?
What is the incidence of hemodynamic instability and associated complications during transcatheter closure of ventricular septal defects?
Population
70 consecutive transcatheter ventricular septal defect (VSD) closures between February 1989 and September 1992
Design
Cohort
Follow-up
Procedural and immediate post-procedural period

May require procedural preparedness for instability during transcatheter VSD closure; leaves open prospective validation of incidence and predictors.
Observational (n=70)
What is the incidence of hemodynamic instability and associated complications during transcatheter closure of ventricular septal defects?
Transcatheter VSD closure is frequently associated with significant hemodynamic instability, often necessitating acute resuscitation, blood transfusions, and ICU admission.
Laussen et al. (1995) conducted an observational in Ventricular septal defect (n=70). Transcatheter ventricular septal defect device closure was evaluated on Hypotension (> 20% decrease in systolic blood pressure from baseline). Transcatheter ventricular septal defect device closure was frequently associated with hemodynamic instability, with hypotension occurring in 40% of procedures.
