COMPARATIVE STUDY
JOURNAL ARTICLE
Surgical treatment of ventricular septal defect in infancy. Primary repair versus banding of pulmonary artery and later repair.
British Heart Journal 1979 Februrary
Results of primary closure of ventricular septal defects are compared with those of two-stage repair, with banding of the pulmonary artery followed by debanding and closure. Apart from the high incidence of unsatisfactory results after banding and a significant morbidity with the two-stage approach, the mortality for primary repair (2.4%) is considerably lower than that achieved with the staged repair (19.3%). Primary repair of ventricular septal defect is advocated for infants resistant to maximal medical treatment. A more flexible policy is adopted for patients with multiple ventricular septal defects and those with associated anomalies.
