Abstract

Gerbode defect is defined as an abnormal left ventricle-right atrium shunting which may have congenital or acquired origin, first described by Thurman in 1838, representing 0.08% of intracardiac shunts and <1% of the congenital heart diseases. The acquired defect can be classified as iatrogenic or non-iatrogenic, with previous cardiac surgery being the most common cause. Gerbode defect is classified depending on its position with respect to the tricuspid valve in supravalvular, infravalvular, or intermediate. Our purpose was to report a rare case of an iatrogenic and acquired Gerbode defect in a 10-year-old male patient following surgical correction of a partial anomalous pulmonary venous return of the right pulmonary veins to the right atrium. The defect was successfully closed percutaneously with an Amplatzer™ Vascular Plug II device. Percutaneous closure of acquired Gerbode defects could be considered as a good option using soft devices to reduce the possibility of severe complications such as complete heart block due to the location of the defect. <
