Transcatheter closure of a perimembranous ventricular septal defect with Nit-Occlud L ê VSD Coil: A French multicentre study.

CONCLUSION: pmVSD closure with the Nit-Occlud Lê VSD Coil is feasible in older children and adults. However, residual shunting (leading to haemolysis) is a dreaded complication that should not be tolerated. pmVSD closure with the Nit-Occlud Lê VSD as a therapeutic strategy remains controversial and is limited to selected patients.
