Özet
Noncardiac components of genetic disorders can complicate the operative and postoperative courses of pediatric cardiac surgery patients. Prolonged hospital stay, increased treatment cost, morbidity, and death are more likely in this subgroup of patients. Ventricular septal defect, which is a component of various genetic disorders, has a 22.3% incidence in Vacterl syndrome - a rare, nonrandom pattern of birth defects. Herein, we discuss the impact of ventricular septal defect closure in a 4-month-old girl who was diagnosed after birth with Vacterl syndrome. © 2008 by the Texas Heart® Institute.
