Long-term outcome after surgical ventricular septal defect closure: Longitudinal follow-up into the fifth decade
Half of the patients with surgical VSD closure had an event-free survival at 49 years. Pacemaker implantation was often needed. Early postoperative arrhythmias predicted mortality. QoL was good and remained stable over time.
