Abstract
Interventricular septal defects are dehiscences of the interventricular septum connecting the systemic and pulmonary circulations. The aim of this study is to report the preliminary results of the first series of intraventricular septal defects managed at the Festoc centre in Bamako. This is a mono-centric, descriptive retrospective study taking place at the FESTOC Centre in the period from 10 September 2018 to 30 April 2023. Patients of any age and sex, operated for IVC were included. Patients operated abroad were not included. We recorded 74 cases of IVC, i.e. 23.19% out of 300 cases. 61% of the patients were male, with a sex ratio of 1.56. The average age was 11 years. Symptoms were dominated by dyspnoea and recurrent bronchitis in 67.21% and 49.18% respectively. Peri-membrane and admission topography were dominant, with rates of 84% and 10%
