Özet
Ventricular septal defect (VSD) is typically repaired via a transatrial approach, which usually provides a good exposure for the assessment and repair of VSDs, generally the perimembranous type. Fibrosis and chordal fusion may surround the lesion, and these malstructures may compromise to reach VSDs. In this article, we present a case with the perimembraneous-type of VSD surrounded by a tricuspid septal leaflet and many thick chordal attachments. The attachments were carefully dissected, and the VSD was successfully exposed. The defect was then repaired using a Gore-Tex patch.
