Abstract

Ventriküler septal defect (VSD), sağ kalbi ve pulmoner vasküler sistemi, pulmoner vasküler rezistansı arttırarak etkileyen en sık asiyanotik hastalıktır. Tanı almamış subaortik VSD, zaman içinde, ciddi pulmoner arter hipertansiyon yanı sıra aort kapak yetmezliğine de neden olabilir. Ek olarak, VSD yoluyla oluşan soldan sağa şant ile, sağ kalp dilatasyonu gelişebilir. İlerleyen dönemde geri dönüşsüz pulmoner arter hipertansiyonu (PAH) (Eisenmenger Sendromu) gelişebilir. Olgu sunumumuzda, efor dispnesinden yakınan 45 yaşında kadın hastamızı sunmaktayız. Hastada geç tanı almış VSD nedeniyle gelişmiş aort ve pulmoner kapak yetmezliği mevcuttu. Başarılı semilunar kapak onarımı ve eş zamanlı doğumsal kalp defekti onarımı yapıldı. Her 2 kapak otolog perikard dokusu kullanılarak onarıldı. Hastamızda çift mekanik kapak replasmanı yapmak yerine, ömür boyu antikoagülasyona bağlı komplikasyonlardan kaçınmak için kapak onarımı tercih ettik. Olgu sunumumuz erişkin hastadaki kapak patolojisine doğumsal kalp cerrahı yorumunu sunmayı amaçlamaktadır. Olgumuzun VSD’nin hem aort hem pulmoner kapağı komplike etmesi bakımından ve semilunar kapakların yetmezliği yanısıra bu kapakların prolapsusu ile pulmoner overflowun engellenmesi bakımından tek örnek olduğuna inanıyoruz.

Successful Surgical Repair of Semilunar Valves in an Adult Female with Congenital Ventricular Septal Defect

Abstract

Ventricular septal defect (VSD) is the most common acyanotic congenital heart disease that affects the right heart and pulmonary vascular system by increasing pulmonary vascular resistance. Undiagnosed subaortic VSD may over time cause aortic valve insufficiency as well as severe pulmonary arterial hypertension. Moreover, right heart dilatation can be seen due to the left-to-right shunt through the VSD. The final stages may include irreversible pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH) (Eisenmenger’s syndrome) and right-to-left shunting. In our case report, we present a 45-year-old female patient suffering from exertional dyspnea. She was diagnosed with severe aortic and pulmonary valve insufficiency caused by late-diagnosed VSD. Successful surgical repair of degenerated semilunar valves with concomitant heart defect was performed. Both valves were repaired using autologous pericardium tissue. Instead of performing double mechanical valve replacement in our patient, we preferred valve repair to avoid complications related to lifelong anti-coagulation. This case report aims to present the congenital heart surgeon’s interpretation of valvular pathology in the adult patients. We believe that our case is unique in that VSD complicated both the semilunar valves insufficiency, limited the pulmonary overflow due to the prolapsus of these valves until adult ages.
