Abstract
Traumatic ventricular septal defects (VSDs) are very rare and can result from either penetrating or bluntchest trauma. They can lead to significant hemodynamic changes and heart failure and can be challenging to manage. We present two patients with muscular VSDs resulting from nonpenetrating trauma to the chest in whom Amplatzer Muscular VSD Occluders were successfully used for defect closure via percutaneous and periventricular approaches.
