Traumatic ventricular septal defects (VSDs) are life-threatening complications of blunt or stab chest trauma. The standard of care is surgical closure or secondary percutaneous closure due to high surgical risk because of recent sternotomy.
We present a 22-year-old male with an ice pick-related VSD. It was successfully closed by primary percutaneous approach. After 6 months, the echo Doppler shows no residual shunt, normal pulmonary artery pressure, and normal biventricular function.
To our knowledge, this is one of the first primary percutaneous closures for knife-related VSD. Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent heart failure and long-term complications. Less necrotic tissue surrounding the VSD compared with post-infarction (PI) VSD allows for early and secure treatment. Percutaneous closure is a feasible and effective choice even in patients who had no prior sternotomy or who reject surgery as a primary treatment strategy.
创伤性室间隔缺损(VSD)是钝性或穿透性胸部创伤危及生命的并发症。由于近期胸骨切开术导致手术风险高,治疗标准是手术闭合或二期经皮闭合。
我们报告一名22岁男性因冰锥导致的室间隔缺损。通过一期经皮方法成功闭合。6个月后,超声多普勒显示无残余分流、肺动脉压正常和双心室功能正常。
据我们所知,这是首例刀伤相关室间隔缺损的一期经皮闭合。早期诊断和治疗可预防心力衰竭和长期并发症。与心肌梗死后(PI)室间隔缺损相比,室间隔缺损周围坏死组织较少,可进行早期安全治疗。即使对于未行胸骨切开术或拒绝手术作为主要治疗策略的患者,经皮闭合也是一种可行且有效的选择。
