Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Left ventricle to right atrial communications, collectively known as Gerbode defects, are usually congenital defects and surgical closure remains the treatment of choice. We report a rare case of Gerbode defect acquired following surgical closure of a ventricular septal defect. The defect was successfully closed percutaneously with an Amplatzer ventricular septal occluder. The patient remained symptom free with optimal result on echo at 6 months of follow-up. This is the first reported case of successful device closure of an acquired Gerbode defect. |
