Abstract

Background: Ventricular septal defect (VSD) is the most frequently occurring congenital cardiac disease, accounts nearly 20-30% of all cases.
 Surgery still the corrective therapy with high success and low complication but having some problems: cardiopulmonary bypass, anesthesia, ICU, sternalitis, chest scar...
 Recently many progress in cardiac intervention applied to treat congenital heart disease especially percutaneous VSD closure. currently patients with VSD have other choice to cure safely, effectively and less complication.[1]
 Objectives: To evaluate the long-term (more than 3 years follow-up) results from transcatheter closure of perimembranous VSD by Coil Le.
 Methods: This is the descriptive clinical trial and follow-up.
 Result: 27 patients selected by echocardiography, 25 patients were closed successfully (92.6% success rate) with Coil Le. Complete occlusion (no shunt) is 96.0% and no late AVB at least 3 years follow-up.
 Conclusions: Transcatheter closure of perimembranous VSD by Coil Le is effective with high occlusion rate, no significant complications and is suitable for selected PMVSD.
