- Title
Same Entity, Different Hemodynamics: Residual VSD After TOF Repair and Isolated VSD Closure.

- Abstract
The article titled "Same Entity, Different Hemodynamics: Residual VSD After TOF Repair and Isolated VSD Closure" discusses the management of residual ventricular septal defects (VSD) after congenital heart disease repair. The study found that significant residual defects requiring reoperation were rare, and spontaneous closure for smaller defects was common within 5 years. The article also highlights the differences in hemodynamics between residual VSDs after tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) repair and isolated VSD closure. The author raises questions about the correlation between hemodynamic burden and preoperative pulmonary hemodynamics, as well as the position of residual VSDs in the interventricular septum.
