Transcatheter perimembranous ventricular septal defect closure under transthoracic echocardiographic guidance without fluoroscopy.

Conclusions: Transcatheter pm-VSD closure can be successfully performed under TTE guidance alone with outcomes similar to those achieved with fluoroscopic guidance in selected patients with weight more than 10 kg and VSD smaller than 8 mm. However, long-term follow-up in a large number of patients would be necessary. PMID: 30416769 [PubMed]
