Percutaneous transcatheter closure of congenital ventricular septal defect with implant

AI EXPLANATION: Transcatheter ventricular septal defect (VSD) closure is a minimally invasive procedure used to repair a hole in the septum, the muscular wall separating the lower chambers of the heart. During this procedure, a doctor inserts a thin, flexible tube called a catheter into a blood vessel—usually in the groin—and guides it to the heart. A specialized closure device is then positioned across the defect and expanded to seal the opening, allowing heart tissue to grow over it over time without requiring open-heart surgery.
