ANYANG, South Korea–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#Canine<\/a>—NEL Animal Cardiovascular Center<\/a>, a private 24-hour animal hospital in South Korea, said that its cardiac surgery team has successfully performed the world\u2019s first surgical correction of a complex ventricular septal defect (VSD) in a canine patient.<\/p>\n

<\/a>
<\/a><\/p>\n

\nThis veterinary milestone is highly significant, as it marks the first such case not only in Korea but also globally, with no previous reports of successful surgical treatment for complex VSDs.<\/p>\n

\nThe patient was diagnosed with a unique form of VSD\u2014a single, continuous defect extending from the perimembranous to the subarterial region (Perimembranous VSD extending into subarterial region). Given that there had been no prior successful surgical cases even for typical VSDs in veterinary medicine, this breakthrough greatly expands the possibilities for surgical treatment of congenital heart disease in Korea\u2019s veterinary cardiac surgery field.<\/p>\n

\nOver the past year, NEL\u2019s cardiac surgery team has gained experience through more than 50 open-heart surgeries using cardiopulmonary bypass. Based on this expertise, the team developed a thorough surgical plan. During the procedure, the complex VSD involving both membranous and subarterial regions was confirmed. The team performed incisions in the right atrium and pulmonary artery, successfully closing the defect with a bovine pericardial patch.<\/p>\n

\nImmediately after surgery, the left-to-right shunt was completely resolved, and the risk of progressive regurgitation due to aortic valve prolapse was eliminated. The patient\u2019s cardiac function recovered to near-normal levels, and the long-term prognosis is considered highly favorable.<\/p>\n

\nSubarterial VSDs are particularly dangerous due to the risk of aortic valve prolapse and severe regurgitation, making early surgical intervention crucial. The success of this surgery offers new hope for animals with congenital heart defects, demonstrating the potential for a surgical cure.<\/p>\n

\nDr. Tae-Heum Um, Director of NEL Animal Cardiovascular Center, stated,<\/p>\n

\n\u201cAlthough this was a complex defect, thorough discussion and preparation among our medical team led to a successful outcome. We will continue our efforts so that more animals with congenital heart disease can lead healthy and normal lives.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n

\nNEL Animal Cardiovascular Center is preparing an academic analysis and official report on this case, and sincerely hopes that this achievement contributes to the advancement of veterinary cardiac surgery not only in Korea, but also across Asia.<\/p>\n
