Abstract

Jatrogenic communication between left ventricle and right atrium, known as Gerbode type ventricular septal defect (GVSD) may be observed after different surgical interventions. We present a case of iatrogenic GVSD following complex cardiac surgery including septal myectomy combined with mitral and aortic valve replacement, which was successfully closed percutanously by Occlutech septal occluder.

Keywords: Gerbode type ventricular septal defect; Transcatheter ventricular septal defect closure; Ventricular septal myectomy.
