Abstract

Six patients, ages 6, 10, 11, 15, 22, and 33 months, in severe congestive heart failure unresponsive to intensive medical therapy underwent operative closure of large ventricular septal defects successfully. The intraoperative management and the postoperative care are presented in detail. Our early results are gratifying and justify early closure of life-threatening ventricular septal defects in infants.
