摘要

Objectives To introduce our experience in treatment of ventricular septal defects with aortic valve insufficiency. Methods A total of 147 cases was involved in a nine-year retrospective study. Age ranged from 5 months to 15 years (mean,7.60 ± 4.12 years). All had been diagnosed by thorough history, physical examinations, chest roentgenogram, two-dimensional echocardiogram.Some 103 patients had taken catheterization and angiocardiography. 91 (61.9%) cases underwent the procedure of VSD closure, 31 (21.08%) had aortic valvuloplasty simultaneously, and 25 (17.02%) were performed VSD closure plus aortic valve replacement.Results Among the 147 patients, 137 (93.19%) have fully recovered, 6 (4.08%) improved, and 4 patients died (2.73%). Conclusions As soon as being diagnosed as subarterial VSD, surgical intervention should be recommended at an early date. The cases of perimembranous VSD also need close follow-up. Once AI occurs, operations should be taken in time. The cases without AI ought to accept treatment during school age.
