Device closure of muscular ventricular septal defects in infants less than one year of age using the Amplatzer devices: Feasibility and outcome

Abstract: In infants less than 1 year of age, percutaneous and perventricular device closure of mVSDs is technically feasible and highly effective with low morbidity. Long term safety and efficacy needs to be assessed.

“…449 In 2007, a report was published that described AMPLATZER MVSD occluder closure of MVSDs in infants Ͻ1 year of age. 56 That same year, successful perventricular closure of MVSDs using the CardioSEAL occluder was reported in infants who weighed Ͻ8 kg, with 80% complete closure. 450 All of these reports were from centers within the United States, but by 2008, perventricular device closure of MVSD was being performed worldwide with excellent results and a high percentage of complete closure or trivial residual flow.…”

“…[55][56][57][58] Children Ն5 kg in weight and with favorable anatomy are considered candidates for percutaneous closure. For infants who weigh Ͻ5 kg or for patients with abnormal septal wall planes, percutaneous MVSD device closure carries additional risk beyond the procedure-and device-related adverse events.…”

“…The avoidance of open-heart surgery in infants has been investigated with some success by other groups [10,11,12,13]. Since 2010, we have treated infants with large muscular VSDs measuring between 7 and 15 mm via transthoracic closure without cardiopulmonary bypass with good outcomes.…”
