rupture (PVSR) is maximum reduction of left-to-right shunt with or without coronary artery
revascularisation, as an alternative to surgical closure in high risk cases, as a bridge to
surgery, as a salvage or residual leak closure after surgical patch closure. Background TCC
of VSR emerged as a possible alternative to surgery in selected cases where surgical
mortality and morbidity overweighs benefits. Early device closure of PVSR is not without …
