Ventricular septal aneurysms in adults: findings of cardiac CT images and correlation with clinical features

Abstract

VSA in adults is usually detected incidentally. It is seen in the membranous portion of the interventricular septum with a lobulated shape on CCTA. It is occasionally associated with a conduction anomaly.

CMR detection of membraneous ventricular septal aneurysm causing ventricular tachycardia

“…Membraneous ventricular septum aneurysm (MVSA) is an uncommon cardiac abnormality primarily associated with the spontaneous closure of a small membraneous ventricular septal defect in childhood [2,3]. Surgical correction of a ventricular septal aneurysm may be required when haemodynamic abnormalities and other aneurysm-related complications are evident [4,5].…”

Incremental utility of Live/Real time three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography in a case with ventricular septal aneurysm and hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy: A case report

“…RT-3-D TEE. Its more practical bed-side application, superior image quality, and quantitative analysis options, proved very useful in clarifying this case without need of further time consuming and expensive assessments such as computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging (1,10).…”

“…The incidence of mBT shunt thrombosis is reported to be among 1-17% (1). Several risk factors were defined about shunt thrombosis such as small age, low body weight, hypoplastic pulmonary arteries, small graft size and thrombophilia (1). We present a case of recurrent mBT shunt thrombosis associated with elevations in anticardiolipin antibody levels.…”

“…Ventricular septal aneurysm (VSA) is a very rare clinical condition with a reported frequency of 0.3% among patients with congenital heart disease (1). VSAs have a well defined association with ventricular septal defects (VSD).…”

Incidental Discovery of a Membranous Ventricular Septal Aneurysm in Two Dissimilar Patients

“…It has been documented in isolation but is seen in association with congenital heart disease in 0.3% of cases and in association with VSDS in 19% of cases [1, 2]. Etiologies of the condition include idiopathic formation, trauma, infection, or as the result of spontaneous closure of a pre-existing VSD [2–6].…”
