Abstract Background: The optimal surgical timing and clinical outcomes of ventricular septal defect (VSD) closure in neonates remain unclear. We aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes of VSD closure in neonates (age ≤ 30 days). Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 50 consecutive neonates who underwent VSD closure for isolated VSDs between August 2003 and June 2021. Indications for the procedure included congestive heart failure/failure to thrive and pulmonary hypertension. Major adverse events (MAEs) were defined as the composite of all-cause mortality, reoperation, persistent atrioventricular block, and significant (≥grade 2) valvular dysfunction. Results: The median age and body weight at operation were 26.0… More >
