What is Perimembranous outlet VSD?

Perimembranous ventricular septal defects (also called membranous VSD’S) are located in the membranous septum, a relatively small portion of the septum located near the heart valves. Ventricular septal defects may also be described as inlet or outlet VSDs. These terms further describe where the defect is located.

What is VSD device?

Ventricular Septal Device Closure VSD device closure is an opening in the wall (septum) dividing the two lower chambers of the heart (ventricles). Normally, this wall closes before birth. The lower two chambers of the heart are called Ventricles.

What is used to close VSD?

So, the cardiologist may recommend heart surgery to fix the hole. In rare cases, the VSD could be closed by cardiac catheterization instead.

Why do babies get VSD?

VSDs can occur alone or with other congenital heart defects. During fetal development, a ventricular septal defect occurs when the muscular wall separating the heart into left and right sides (septum) fails to form fully between the lower chambers of the heart (ventricles).

What are the four types of VSD?

There are four basic types of VSD:

  • Membranous VSD. An opening in a particular area of the upper section of the ventricular septum (an area called the membranous septum), near the valves.
  • Muscular VSD.
  • Atrioventricular canal type VSD.
  • Conal septal VSD.

When do you use VSD?

If the VSD remains large and unrestrictive, most infants should undergo surgical closure at age 4-6 months. However, this is somewhat controversial, and although a repair later in the first year of life is acceptable, a progressive risk of pulmonary vascular disease after age 6 months is observed.

What are the types of VSD?

How is VSD closure done?

The surgeon usually reaches the wall between the septum by looking through one of the valves of the heart. The surgeon closes the hole in the ventricle with a tightly woven patch material. Once the procedure has been completed, the heart-lung machine will be removed.
