Surgical repair of muscular ventricular septal defects (VSDs) has been associated with significant morbidity and mortality when the defects are multiple, associated with complex cardiac lesions, or requiring left ventriculotomy. Transcatheter VSD closure may be difficult in patients weighing less than 7 kg or those with limited vascular access. We attempted intraoperative device closure of muscular VSDs during surgical repair of associated lesions.
