ABSTRACT The surgical management of multiple muscular ventricular septal defects (mVSDs) in the infant remains a challenging problem because of the presence of residual shunts and postoperative myocardial dysfunction. We present a case of successful repair of multiple mVSDs with a unique hybrid procedure combining both the perventricular closure and open surgical repair.
