Abstract
Background: Congenital heart defects (CHD) can cause serious birth abnormalities. The present study was conducted to assess cases and management of CHDs in given population.
Materials & Methods: The present study was conducted in the department of Cardiology. It comprised of 590 cases with age range from 17 days to 70 years of both. In all cases procedure such as VSD closure, ICR for TOF, AV repair, PDA ligation, MVR+TV repair, bidirectional Glenn shunt (BDGS) and Pericardiotomy etc. was performed.
Results: Among 590 patients, 390 were males and 200 were females. It was seen that maximum cases were observed at age group of 5-20 years (359) followed by 20-40 years (105), 0-5 years (80), 40-60 years (37) and 60-80 years (9). The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Common CHDs was ASD in 262 patients, VSD in 140, TOF in 115, PDA in 65 and BD Glenn shunt in 12. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Common procedure performed was AV repair in 165, ASD closure in 100, ICR for TOF in 75, PDA ligation in 60 and ICR for DORV in 45 etc. The difference found to be significant (P< 0.05).
Conclusion: Authors found that common CHDs among study population were ventricular septal defect, atrial septal defect, tetralogy of fallot, PDA and bidirectional Glenn shunt.
Keywords: Atrial septal defect, Tetralogy of fallot, Ventricular septal defect.
