Perventricular device closure of ventricular septal defects showed safety and high efficiency in patients less than 1 year of age, compared with conventional surgical repair with cardiopulmonary bypass, and provided a short period of rehabilitation and excellent cosmetic result.

According to the mid-term follow-up results, PVDC has similar efficacy to CA for VSD closure. The off-pump PVDC technique reduces blood product transfusion and the procedural time and minimizes surgical trauma while providing excellent cosmetic results.

The described off-pump approach showed excellent results. It offers such advantages as avoidance of the morbidity associated with cardiopulmonary bypass, significantly shorter hospital stay and therefore reduced costs, and a cosmetic advantage.
