Dacron Patch Closure of Ventricular Septal Defect with Concomitant Aortic Valve Replacement using a Mechanical Prosthesis: A Video Presentation

Abstract

We performed Dacron patch closure of ventricular septal defect with concomitant aortic valve replacement using a St. Jude Medical mechanical aortic prosthesis for a patient with ventricular septal defect and severely deformed and irreparable aortic valve. We highlight the technical details of the procedure to prevent paravalvular aortic leakage and residual ventricular septal defect.
