title: Left ventricular segmental dysfunction following percutaneous transcatheter closure of a membranous ventricular septal defect.
abstract: Percutaneous device closure of membranous ventricular septal defects is an attractive alternative for surgical treatment. A patient with left ventricular segmental dysfunction with infarct like ECG pattern following transcatheter membranous VSD closure is presented. Possible pathophysiological mechanisms of this phenomenon are discussed.
