ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To determine the therapeutic effect and safety of transcatheter closure of ventricular septal defects (VSD) in 50 patients.@*METHODS@#Fifty patients were diagnosed by transthoracic echocardiography. To perform the operation, transthoracic echocardiography and X ray were used continuously to monitor the procedure. Transthoracic echocardiography and ECG were performed at 1, 3, and 6 months after the operation to evaluate the therapeutic effect.@*RESULTS@#The VSD diameter ranged from 1.8 to 13.4 (5.54 +/- 2. 75) mm. The successful rate of the operation was 96.0%, and the complication rate of the operation was 16.7%. A 3 month follow-up was completed in 20 patients, and the median left ventricle end-diastolic dimension significantly decreased from (40.20 +/- 8.80) mm to (32.90 +/- 8.36) mm (P < 0.001).@*CONCLUSION@#Transcatheter closure of ventricular septal defects is a good method with a high success rate of placement, fewer complications, and a good occlusion effect.
