Abstract
We report the first successful transcatheter closure of a large traumatic ventricular septal defect in a 16-year-old adolescent. The risks of standard open heart repair using cardiopulmonary bypass were felt to be prohibitive due to coexistent injuries. This case demonstrates the feasibility of transcatheter therapy for traumatic ventricular septal defects.Keywords
