2022, Congenital Heart Disease: A Clinical, Pathological, Embryological, and Segmental AnalysisThe Natural and Unnatural History of Ventricular Septal Defects Presenting in Infancy: An Echocardiography-Based Review
2020, Journal of the American Society of EchocardiographyCitation Excerpt :The percentage of perimembranous defects that closed spontaneously was greater for those with tricuspid valve aneurysmal tissue at diagnosis than without. This has been described previously in the literature, although there is no clear consensus on the association between tricuspid valve aneurysmal tissue and rate of spontaneous VSD closure.15,29-31 For muscular VSDs that remained open or closed spontaneously, the average indexed VSD area was significantly smaller than muscular VSDs that required surgical intervention.
Clinical significance of incidentally detected aneurysms of the membranous ventricular septum in adults by multidetector computed tomography
2015, American Journal of CardiologyCitation Excerpt :Therefore, further prospective studies with adequate control groups will be necessary not only to define AMVS as a definite independent predictor of embolic stroke but also to determine the therapeutic strategy for AMVS, such as anticoagulation therapy or surgical removal. Although AMVS has been related to the spontaneous closure or decrease in the size of VSDs in infancy and adolescence,23–26 there is a lack of information on the incidence and natural course of AMVS in adults. As far as we know, this is the first report demonstrating the natural course and clinical implication of AMVS in adults through a longitudinal study.
Behavior of Unrepaired Perimembranous Ventricular Septal Defect in Young Adults
2010, American Journal of CardiologyCitation Excerpt :The mechanism of spontaneous pmVSD closure is less well understood. However, the presence of a ventricular septal aneurysm (VSA) has been considered an early mechanism of closure.4 It has been hypothesized that the septal leaflet of the tricuspid valve covers the defect and might explain why VSDs with a left ventricle to right atrium shunt close less frequently.5
Aneurysm of the membranous septum detected during left ventriculography and demonstrated by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging
2009, International Journal of CardiologyCitation Excerpt :Some of the membranous ventricular septal defects (VSD) in infancy transform into aneurysms of the ventricular membranous septums (AMS) later in adulthood [1,2].
