Key result
Transcatheter VSD closure is linked to late TR requiring surgical correction.
Why the study?
Late valve regurgitation requiring surgery after transcatheter VSD closure is an uncommon but significant complication carrying a risk of heart failure.
Case Report (n=1)
Late tricuspid regurgitation is a rare but significant complication of transcatheter VSD closure that may require surgical correction, highlighting the need for close post-procedural follow-up.
Late TR after transcatheter VSD closure may require surgery; this case leaves optimal surveillance protocols open.
Transcatheter closure of ventricular septal defects (VSD) is not out of complications. Late complications are rare, but important, and sometimes require surgical correction. Herein, we report a case of tricuspid regurgitation as a complication of transcatheter VSD closure. The patient underwent successful surgery. Postoperative course was satisfactory. Echocardiographic examination revealed well-functioning tricuspid valve. We present this case since valve regurgitation after transcatheter procedure requiring surgery is an uncommon but significant complication due to heart failure risk. Even in the absence of any clinical finding, post-procedural close follow-up is important for early diagnosis of the problem to prevent the aforementioned risk.

Sarkışlalı et al. (2021) conducted a case report in Ventricular Septal Defect (n=1). Percutaneous transcatheter closure of ventricular septal defect was evaluated on Development of late tricuspid regurgitation. Percutaneous transcatheter closure of a ventricular septal defect can lead to late tricuspid regurgitation requiring surgical correction.
