We had 4 cases with multiple ventricular septal defects (VSDs) in complexed congenital heart disease. One of four had two separate VSDs detected by two dimensional echocardiography before operation. Second of four had additional infundibular muscular VSD which was detected by echocardiography in the intensive care unit (ICU) after patch closure of a perimembranous VSD. The third case had two additional VSDs of inlet muscular and subaortic septum detected by transesophageal and direct echocardiography during reoperation, beside a subpulmonary VSD which was originally diagnosed before Jatene operation for double outlet right ventricle. The fourth case had multiple trabecular muscular VSDs diagnosed by postoperative angiography soon after Rastelli operation. Since these additional multiple VSDs compromise the postoperative hemodynamics if those are unrecognized, it is indispensable to detect all VSDs before operation, using transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography.

D006345 Heart Septal Defects, Ventricular Developmental abnormalities in any portion of the VENTRICULAR SEPTUM resulting in abnormal communications between the two lower chambers of the heart. Classification of ventricular septal defects is based on location of the communication, such as perimembranous, inlet, outlet (infundibular), central muscular, marginal muscular, or apical muscular defect.
