Comparative Study between Interrupted and Continuous Suture Techniques in Ventricular Septal Defect Patch Closure: A Retrospective Study

T Muthuvijayan, A. Kumaravel .

Abstract


Introduction: Ventricular septal defect (VSD) is the most common congenital cardiac anomaly that may occur as an isolated anomaly or as a part of complex of anomaly such as tetralogy of Fallot. Small defects may close spontaneously and may cause no significant disability in lifetime.
