Ventricular septal defect (VSD) in adults is seldom newly diagnosed shunt disorder. Inborn VSD are closed in childhood surgically or in last year’s also via catheters. Acquired VSD are mainly post myocardial infarction events. Their amount decreased due to thrombolytic treatment and direct angioplasty. We analyse basics of anatomy, function, diagnostics and therapy in such patients. We describe VSD closure principles and procedure based on catheter approach.
