Gold standard for VSD closure

  1. Gold standard for VSD closure – surgical direct suture closure or patch.
  2. However, transcatheter device occlusion of selected muscular and perimembranous defects is possible with favorable outcomes
  3. Muscular VSD is more likely to close spontaneously than membranous VSD or perimembranous VSD
