EVALUATION OF THE PATIENTS OPERATED WITH VSDs OF DIFFERENT AGES
Journal Title: Kocatepe Medical Journal - Year 2023, Vol 24, Issue 1
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Ventricular septum defect (VSD) can be defined as one or more openings located in the septum separating the left and right ventricle. Ventricular septal defects can be congenital or acquired. It is the most common congenital heart anomaly. In this article, we evaluated the VSDs that we treated surgically in our clinic in the light of the literature. MATERIAL AND METHODS: 68 VSD patients were intervened in our clinic. 39 cases were male (57.3%) and 29 cases were female (42.7%). The mean age was 9.10 ± 9.13 (1-48), and the mean weight was 25 ± 16.5 (7-75). When the preoperative New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional capacity (FC) was compared, FC-I was determined as 31 cases (45.5%), FC-II as 30 cases (44.1%), and FC-III as 7 cases (10.2%). The most common preoperative existing anomalies were 15 cases (22.05%) with aortic insufficiency (AR) and aortic valve prolapse (AVP); 18 cases (26.4%) ASD and 8 cases (11.7%) with PDA. RESULTS: When looking at the intervention methods according to VSD types, the most common cases of perimembranous type were right atriotomy in 53 cases (77.9%), right atriotomy in 1 case (1.4%) and tricuspid septal annulus radial incision; 8 cases of muscular type (11.7%) and right atriotomy and left ventriculotomy in 2 cases (2.9%) of Swiss-Chess type; Right ventriculotomy was preferred in 4 cases (5.8%) of DCJA (Doubly Committed Jukstaarterial) type. Between postoperative complications the most frequent one was residual VSD in 9 patients (15.3 %). Mortality was seen in 3 patients (5.09 %) with preoperative PAB 67±7.5 mmHg, LV- RV shunt 49±9.6 mmHg, Qp/Qs 4.7±3.87, PVR 7.5±4.6 values in follow-up. According to the comparison of the pre/postoperative NYHA and RVP statistics (p<0.05), the survival rate without reoperation was estimated as 93.2 %. CONCLUSIONS: Ventricular septal defect is the most common congenital heart disease. The development of ECHO and cardiac angiography has a great share in the diagnosis and classification. It should be preferred to evaluate the defects very well and close them after 3 months.
