Gerbode defect, Bentall surgery complication, transcatheter Gerbode defect closure.Abstract
The Gerbode defect, the left ventricle to the right atrial communication, is a the rare finding. It is usually congenital but can also occur as an acquired disease, especially after cardiac surgery. The surgical closure is accepted as treatment of choice. There are only a few case reports of transcatheter closure published in children. We hereby report a successful transcatheter closure of a Gerbode shunt in a 3 years old child with massive aorta dilatation after surgical Bentall repair. The result was excellent without neither residual leak nor malfunction of the prosthetic valve.
