Popis: To appreciate short and midterm results of patients after surgical closure of the ventricular septal defect.The study is retrospective and took place in the department of cardiovascular surgery "B", Ibn-Sina hospital, Rabat, Morocco. Between 1995 and 2005, 30 patients underwent a surgical closure of ventricular septal defect. Eighteen patients (60%) were males and twelve (40%) were females with a mean age of 10 years (18 months-36 years). Seven patients (23%) were older than 16 years. All of ventricular septal defects were type 2, unique and most of them perimembranous (70%). Four patients (13%), were older than 16 years, had a significant aortic insufficiency that has dictated the aortotomy for ventricular septal defect repair. The surgical approach through the right atriotomy was sufficient for complete repair in 22 patients (73%). Closure of the defect has been done using a pericardial autologous patch in 28 patients (93%).No operative mortality was observed. The mean follow-up was five years. Eight patients (26%) had a residual ventricular septal defect that progressed to spontaneous closure. Two patients (6%) had a residual pulmonary hypertension and two others a moderate aortic regurgitation. The four patients were older than 16 years. Echocardiography showed a significant reduction in left ventricular dimension and systolic pulmonary artery pressure. At last follow-up, 87% of the patients were in NYHA class 1.This study demonstrates that surgical closure of ventricular septal defect ensures a good outcome in short and midterm. Nevertheless, the risk of delayed complications justifies long-term and regular follow-up.
