A consecutive series of 50 children undergoing elective operations for
ventricular septal defect (VSD) is presented. Atriotomy was performed
routinely. Repair of the defect through the tricuspid valve was attempted
in all cases and achieved in 72 percent. There was a 24 percent incidence
of right bundle branch block. All patients improved symptomatically after
the operation. The mortality rate was 4 percent. The right atrial route is
considered to be preferable as a primary approach and has no disadvantages.
