Transcatheter closure of iatrogenic perimembranous ventricular septal defect after aortic valve and ascending aorta replacement using an Amplatzer membranous ventricular septal occluder
Cardiol J 2008;15(2):189-191.
Abstract
Iatrogenic perimembranous ventricular septal defect is a rare complication after surgical
replacement of the aortic valve, and so transcatheter closure of such a defect is not a routine
procedure. We report the successful closure of an iatrogenic perimembranous ventricular
septal defect which occurred after the replacement of the aortic valve and ascending aorta.
