Popis: Objective To analyze feasibility of closing perimembranous ventricular septal defect (pmVSD) with different devices by percutaneous approach and determining initial 1-year outcome of the procedure. Background Transcatheter closure of pmVSD remains controversial due to a previous higher incidence of complete heart block (CHB), especially with the Amplatzer pmVSD occluder. Recently, several devices have been used to minimize the procedure-related complications. Methods and materials A retrospective longitudinal cohort study of 133 patients who underwent transcatheter closure of pmVSD from September 2009 to March 2015. The median age and weight at intervention were 7.1 years (ranging from 9 months to 28 years) and 21.2 kg (ranging from 6.4 to 93 kg). Results Transcatheter pmVSD closure was successfully performed in 129 cases (97%) using 13 different devices. There were two new onset severe aortic regurgitation (AR) (1.5%), one new onset severe tricuspid regurgitation (0.7%), and one CHB (0.7%). Immediately after procedure, 41 patients (30.8%) had mild to moderate residual shunt and 27 patients (20.8%) had trivial to mild AR. At 1 year, there was no CHB and 10 patients (9.6%) had tiny to mild residual shunt and 10 patients (9.6%) had trivial AR. Conclusion With proper case selection, good expertise, and judicious use of various devices with respect to anatomic details of pmVSD, transcatheter closure is feasible with satisfactory early outcome.
