Outcome of patients after surgical closure of ventricular septal defect at young age: longitudinal follow-up of 22?34 years

Abstract

Among patients with surgically repaired VSDs, late results were good, although some late sudden deaths occurred in the patients with pulmonary hypertension. Furthermore, some patients developed sinus node disease late after repair, requiring pacemaker implantation. Employability is good, but pregnancy and insurance matters need further attention.
