Spontaneous Closure of a Residual Postoperative Ventricular Septal Defect

Ray C. Anderson M.D.1 and James H. Moller M.D.1

1 Department of Pediatrics, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, Minnesota

A case is presented of a 16-year-old boy who showed clinical and laboratory evidence of spontaneous closure of a ventricular septal defect that had apparently reopened following corrective surgery at the age of three years. It is suggested that closure may have been produced by adherence of the septal leaflet of the tricuspid valve to the septum.
