Interventricular septal hematoma following pediatric congenital cardiac surgery: A three-case report

摘要

INTRODUCTION Interventricular septal hematoma(IVSH)is a rare complication of pediatric congenital cardiac surgery.The septal perforating artery is at risk when suturing the ventricular septal defect(VSD)patch.The injury of a septal perforating artery is thought to be the most likely mechanism of IVSH.Anticoagulation during the cardiopulmonary bypass(CPB)surgery may lead to continued bleeding with the formation of IVSH with artery injury.
