title: Perventricular device closure of a doubly committed subarterial ventricular septal defect.
abstract: A doubly committed subarterial ventricular septal defect (VSD) used to be a contraindication for device closure. Perventricular device closure has been widely applied in China in the past years, but not in a doubly committed subarterial VSD. Chinese surgeons are now beginning to try this procedure also in a doubly committed subarterial VSD in selected patients. The technique of closure of the perimembranous defect has been described previously in this journal, but we hereby present some additional information on this procedure performed in a doubly committed subarterial VSD.
