Abstract
Background
: The most common types of congenital heart defects (CHDs) are septal defects. However, combined atrial septal defect (ASD) and ventricular septal defect (VSD) are infrequently reported. Trans-catheter interventions serve as a suitable alternative to surgery. However simultaneous closure of ASD and VSD in a single patient under single procedure is rarely reported. We report a case of successful simultaneous closure of both septal defects at the same session.
Case Report
: The patient is a 22 year old male with 12 mm ostium secundum ASD and 8 mm subaortic VSD noted on transthoracic echocardiography with significant shunt. VSD was closed from arterial route by forming an arterio-ventricular loop. Subsequently ASD was closed. Post-procedure was uneventful.
Conclusion
: Simultaneous percutaneous closure of combined septal defects is a suitable alternative to surgical closure. We report such a rare case of combined closure which sets an example for future endeavors.
