The Role of Transesophageal Echocardiography in Device Closure of
Peri-membranous Ventricular Septal Defects with the Hybrid Approach
Abstract
Key Points · Perventricular device closure of peri-membranous
ventricular septal defects is safe and effective when compared to
conventional surgery and transcatheter device closure. · Intraprocedural
transesophageal echocardiography can effectively guide perventricular
device closure of peri-membranous ventricular septal defects and improve
safety and success rate. · Hybrid approach improves the outcomes in
select patients with congenital heart diseases and complex anatomical
defects.
