Comparison of percutaneous device closure versus surgical closure of peri-membranous ventricular septal defects: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Background While percutaneous device closure (PDC) is a first‐line therapy for isolated muscular ventricular septal defects (mVSD), surgery is still the preferred approach for peri‐membranous ventricular septal defects (pmVSD). Objective We sought to compare the outcomes of percutaneous versus open...

Description
Summary:Background While percutaneous device closure (PDC) is a first‐line therapy for isolated muscular ventricular septal defects (mVSD), surgery is still the preferred approach for peri‐membranous ventricular septal defects (pmVSD). Objective We sought to compare the outcomes of percutaneous versus open surgical closure of pmVSDs. Methods PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases were searched through October 15, 2014 for English language studies comparing outcomes of PDC with surgical closure of pmVSDs. Study quality, publication bias, and heterogeneity were assessed. A meta‐analysis of selected studies was performed using a random effects model. Comparison was done for early (
