We recommend early closure of DCSA VSD because of progressive nature of disease. VSD closure in early stages suffices to halt the progression of aortic valve disease. Nevertheless, if aortic valve regurgitation has started it must be addressed to prevent future complications.

Combination of ventricular septal defect (VSD) and aortic regurgitation (AR) due to prolapse of right coronary or, less frequently, non-coronary cusp is known as Laubry-Pezzi syndrome [1]. Early VSD closure have been proposed to prevent the …

We review all patients with surgical closure of the DCSA VSD to assess the relation of timing of operation with AV prolapse and AR. From January 1986 to March 1997, 128 patients diagnosed with DCSA VSD were seen at the National University Hospital, Singapore and Gleneagles Medical Centre, Singapore.

Feb 1, 2021 · Doubly committed subarterial VSD (DCSA-VSD), also known as infundibular VSD has higher prevalence in Asian [1], and has lower rate to close spontaneously but higher incidence of aortic valve prolapsed (AVP) and aortic regurgitation (AR) …

Forty-five patients underwent VSD closure, of whom 7 had VSD closure and AV repair. All patients were echocardiographically followed up for a mean of 4.9 years (1 to 17 years). The VSD was closed with a median sternotomy on cardiopulmonary bypass.

Mar 12, 2020 · Doubly committed subarterial VSD (DCSA VSD) (also referred to as supracristal, subpulmonary or infundibular VSD) accounts for approximately one-twentieth of all VSD cases in Western countries closed surgically [2].

The doubly committed subarterial ventricular septal defect (DCSA VSD) is a specific type of congenital heart defect characterized by an abnormal communication between the ventricles, located beneath the aortic and pulmonary valves.

We present a retrospective review of 7 patients who underwent simultaneous closure of a DCSA VSD and aortic valve repair using the AVNeo technique from January 2016 to January 2019; they were operated on by single surgeon at the National Heart Institute, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) is the most common congenital cardiac malformation responsible for 25-45% of all congenital heart diseases.2 The most popular and practical classification of VSD is that described by Soto et al.,3 dividing VSDs into perimembranous, muscular and doubly committed subarterial (DCSA) types.

Oct 9, 2017 · Objective To review the surgical outcome of doubly committed subarterial (DCSA) ventricular septal defect repair.
