Interventricular septal hematoma detected by transesophageal echocardiography after congenital heart surgery in an infant: a case report.
Young-Eun JangJin-Tae KimJi-Hyun LeePublished in: European journal of medical research (2021)
We describe a unique case of interventricular septal hematoma after VSD closure. Surgical manipulation of perimembranous VSD and injury of the septal perforating artery may contribute to the development of an interventricular septal hematoma. Moreover, conservative treatment and serial echocardiographic evaluation generally show gradual hematoma resolution in hemodynamically stable patients. Pediatric cardiac anesthesiologists should be aware of this rare complication after VSD repair.
