Experience with closure of ventricular septal defect in 32 patients under two years is presented. Indications for correction were: (a) intractable heart failure; (b) persistence of progression of pulmonary artery hypertension; (c) failure of pulmonary artery banding; (d) elective closure after banding. In all but one case, the correction was done under the surface induced deep hypothermia with limited cardiopulmonary bypass and total circulatory arrest. Mortality and morbidity of the pulmonary artery banding procedure and of early closure discussed. For the corrective procedure the mortality was 3%. It is emphasized that whenever clinical or hemodynamic data support persistence or progression of pulmonary artery hypertension, corrective repair should be performed without delay. It is further suggested that pulmonary artery banding should be restricted to patients with ventricular septal defect and associated coarctation of the aorta and to patients with multiple muscular ventricular septal defects.
