Abstract

"Swiss-cheese" ventricular septal defects present complex treatment challenges. Despite difficult defect visualization and closure, complete septation is the treatment of choice. We present the case of a 2-year-old with residual apical "Swiss-cheese" ventricular septal defects after failed percutaneous device closure with 2 occluder devices. Surgical removal of 1 device and primary closure of the defects via right apical ventriculotomy resulted in successful complete septation.
