Abstract
Between January 1973 and June 1983, 220 consecutive patients, aged 2 months to 40 years, underwent surgical closure of an uncomplicated ventricular septal defect (VSD). All patients had undergone preoperative cardiac catheterization. Patients with tetralogy of Fallot, atrioventricular septal defect, and transposition or malposition of the great arteries were excluded. Also excluded were patients with associated coarctation or valvular anomalies, except aortic insufficiency.
