LID - 10.1253/circj.CJ-23-0583 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: Potential differences in complications and/or long-term outcomes of perimembranous ventricular septal defect (pmVSD) closures with 3-mm waist vs. 4-mm waist double-disk symmetrical occluders are not known.Methods and Results: A total of 395 consecutive pediatric patients with pmVSD recruited between January 2017 and March 2021 underwent successful transcatheter closure using symmetrical pmVSD devices. The final analysis involved 208x3-mm and 172x4-mm cases. The median follow-up was 42 months (range: 12-62 months). A total of 175 post-procedure adverse events (AEs) were observed. Most of these AEs were temporary, and there were only 8 major AEs. Compared to the 3-mm waist group, the incidence of residual shunts was significantly higher in the 4-mm waist group (13.4% vs. 6.7%; P=0.030), whereas other AEs showed similar incidences between the 2 groups. Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that larger defect, higher ratio between device size and body surface area, and longer procedure time can cause an increased likelihood of AEs, and smaller defect or left disk placement within aneurysmal tissue may reduce it. CONCLUSIONS: Transcatheter closure of pmVSD using a symmetrical double-disk occluder is safe and effective. Compared with a 3-mm waist symmetrical occluder, transcatheter closure with a 4-mm waist symmetrical occluder correlated with higher incidences of residual shunts.
