Abstract
Pathological evidence for spontaneous closure of ventricular septal defect in seven adults has been presented. These cases were observed among 1,605 necropsies (an incidence of about 1 per 225 necropsies). In two of the cases, the ventricular septal defect was closed by an adherent tricuspid valve, possibly the result of bacterial endocarditis. In the remaining five cases a muscular ventricular septal defect was closed by a fibrous membrane.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
