Neo-cusp Reconstruction Procedure for Aortic Regurgitation Induced by Transcatheter Occluder Device for Ventricular Septal Defect Closure

World J Pediatr Congenit Heart Surg. 2022 Jul;13(4):495-498. doi: 10.1177/21501351221104419.

Abstract

Aortic regurgitation after transcatheter device closure of a perimembranous ventricular septal defect is a known complication. We present the case of an 11-year-old boy with severe aortic valve regurgitation due to cusp perforation complicating previous device closure of a ventricular septal defect. The patient underwent successful aortic valve repair (neo-cusp reconstruction technique) by replacement of a cusp and shaving off of a rim of the device 5 years after device closure.

Keywords: Ventricular septal defect; aortic regurgitation; device closure.
