Ventricular septal defect
Ventricular septal defects (VSD) can be divided into perimembranous, muscular, inlet and outlet VSDs, depending on the location. Of these perimembranous VSDs are the commonest. VSDs can decrease in size and undergo spontaneous closure. Spontaneous closure is most likely with small muscular and perimembranous VSD, while inlet and outlet VSDs are least likely to close.

Pulmonary valvotomy for Tetrology of Fallot : Will soon become a worthy option
Catheter based interventions in TOF  has caught the imagination of  Interventional cardiologists.decades ago. (Quereshi reported first in 1988 Royal Liverpool hospital ) .Somehow it could not develop into a full-fledged modality. The key issue in TOF  is,  RVOT obstruction is infundibular with some degree of valvular involvement. While the valvular component is amenable for easy correction by balloon, the infundibular stenosis requires some form of cutting or splitting. Embryologically,  the malalignment of IVS is the primary mechanism of obstruction. The balloon catheter is will find it difficult to tackle the alignm...

Hepato clavicular view for left ventriculography
Brief Review Abstract: LAO (left anterior oblique) 40 degrees with 40 degrees cranial angulation is known as hepato clavicular view. It is used to profile inlet ventricular septal defects.  Hepato clavicular view with forty degree left anterior oblique and forty degree cranial angulation is used for visualizing the inlet ventricular septum. It is thus needed to see atrioventricular septal defects (endocardial cushion defects) and posterior muscular ventricular septal defects. This view has more cranial angulation and less lateral angulation than a conventional left anterior oblique (LAO) view. LAO view for aortography t...
