Abstract

This is the first attempt to use a temporary occluder to close a giant perimembranous ventricular septal defect (32 mm), which obtains clinical evidence of good haemodynamics in patients with severe pulmonary hypertension. This may provide an alternative assessment to guide cardiac surgeons in determining a definitive treatment.
