Rescue one-stage hybrid perventricular and percutaneous device closure of multiple muscular ventricular septal defects using the new multifunctional occluder

Abstract

Data on the safety and efficiency of perventricular device closure of complex ventricular septal defects (VSDs) are scarce. We report successful one-stage combined hybrid perventricular and percutaneous closure of the muscular VSDs in a critically ill 4-kg infant, using the new multifunctional occluder.
