Transcatheter closure of ventricular septal defect with aortic cusp prolapse with or without mild aortic regurgitation: experience from tertiary care referral hospital from Eastern India
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 August 2025
Abstract
Objective:
To evaluate feasibility, safety, and short-term outcome of transcatheter closure of ventricular septal defect with aortic cusp prolapse with or without mild aortic regurgitation.
Methods:
All data were collected prospectively for all ventricular septal defect with aortic cusp prolapse with or without mild aortic regurgitation who were attempted for transcatheter device closure between January 2018 and December 2023.
Results:
The device closure was successful and not associated with appearance of new-onset aortic regurgitation or aggravation of existing trivial to mild aortic regurgitation in 92.6% cases. In 2 patients (2.9%), device appeared to be touching the aortic valve and aggravating aortic regurgitation even after repositioning and re-deploying the device and ultimately that devices were taken out and sent for surgical closure. In 1 patient, device position appeared to be perfect on table before release, aortic regurgitation was same as before, and aortic root angiogram was also satisfactory. But re-evaluation on the next day by echocardiography revealed aggravating aortic regurgitation. The patient was sent for removal of device and surgical ventricular septal defect closure. In 2 patients (2.9%), device was embolised few hours after release, and the patients were sent for surgical closure. All patients were followed up for minimum of 6 months, and no case was found with new-onset aortic regurgitation or aggravation of existing aortic regurgitation.
Conclusion:
Transcatheter closure of ventricular septal defect with aortic cusp prolapse with or without mild aortic regurgitation in selected patients is technically feasible and safe with high procedural success rate.
