Abstract

Aim: This study aims to evaluate feasibility and complications of device closure of ventricular septal defect (VSD) in children weighing 5kg. Methods: Between March 2018 and March 2021, total 15 patients with Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) weighing 5Kg or less were taken to Cath lab for percutaneous VSD closure out of which 13 (86%) had successful transcatheter closure and 2 (14%) cases were unsuccessful and subsequently send for surgical closure. All of these13 patients under went transcatheter closure of VSD using either a Amplatzer duct occluder1, Amplatzer duct Occluder 2 or Amplatzer Muscular VSD Occluder. A retrospective review of the results and related complications was done. Results: Among these 15 patients, 7 were females, 6 were male and the mean age was 8.5 (4-16month. The mean weight in this study was 4.46Kg (2.3-5Kg). Mean VSD size was 4.5 (3-10mm), 9 patients had VSD sizes between 3to5mm, 3 had between5-10 mm and 1 with more than 10mm. Among types of VSD, 9 cases were having Perimembranous, 1 was upper muscular, 1was mid while 1was lower muscular and only 1 had outlet muscular VSD. Amplatzer Duct Occluder (ADOI) was used in 2 cases, 9 were closed with Amplatzer Duct Occluder (ADO2) and 2 were selected for closure with Amplatzer Muscular VSD Occluder. Transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE) in immediate post intervention period revealed all these devices in situ with no or minimal residual flow which subsided within 24 hours period. As far as complications are concerned, we had one device embolization noted in our study. Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) was noted at the time of discharge in 4 patients but subsided after 48 hours while trivial aortic regurgitation was noted (AR) only in one case which is under close follow up and not increasing in severity after 6 months follow-up. Conclusions: Transcatheter closure of VSD in children 5kg or less is feasible and safe alternative to surgical VSD closure.
