Evolution of surgery of ventricular septal defect closure

Abstract

A ventricular septal defect is one of the foremost prevalent congenital heart defects, accounting for around 20% of all congenital heart malformations.<br /> Nowadays, there are three surgical methods for ventricular septal defect: surgical treatment of ventricular septal defect with a heart-lung machine, interventional closure of ventricular septal defect by percutaneous puncture, and hybrid operation (with no heart-lung machine).<br /> Hybrid operation – there is some of the latest evolutions introduced in cardiac surgical treatment practice. This technique is mild, to reduce surgical trauma, and perform not connecting the patient to the heart-lung machine, without X-ray exposure, and there are additional indications than the interventional procedure.<br /> The article reviewed literature sources on the surgical treatments of the ventricular septal defect and the results of the above methods, and also considers more detail especially hybrid operation (without a heart-lung machine).

Mortality Rates of Ventricular Septal Defect for Children in Kazakhstan: Spatio-Temporal Epidemiological Appraisal

“…Several studies have shown from 2017, the incidence rate of CHD was 17.9/1000 worldwide, with 19.1/ 1000 for males and 16.6/1000 for females [41]. Especially, ventricular septal defect and atrial septal defect were the most common subtype of CHD with an incidence of 5.29/1000 and accounted for about 29.6% of all cases of CHD, of the VSDs, 20% are isolated lesions [42]. According to past statistical analysis, the incidence of isolated VSDs in neonates was 1.5-2.5/1000 [43].…”
