An improved technique for the closure of ventricular septal defect in ventricular inversion.
An improved technique for the closure of ventricular septal defect associated with ventricular inversion through the anatomically left ventricle is described. The technique consists of placing a patch completely on the anatomically right ventricular side with modified horizontal mattress sutures all around the defect. This technique was applied successfully in 2 patients with no ensuing conduction disturbance. The details of the technique are reported.
