title: [Aneurysm of the membranous ventricular septum. Apropos of 4 cases surgically treated].
abstract: Four patients with aneurysms of the membranous ventricular septum were operated either because of complications or for associated malformations. The authors describe the anatomical, radiological and, above all, the echocardiographic and angiographic features of this malformation. Surgical management is necessary in complicated cases or when there are associated congenital malformations. The information provided by echocardiography in the diagnosis and follow-up of ventricular septal defects indicates that this malformation is not as rare as was previously thought.
