Recently, we established a new hybrid technique for closure of mVSDs on the beating heart. Here, we evaluated a self-centering patch system for this technique.enMedicineClosure (psychology)CardiologyInternal medicineEvaluation of a self-centering patch system for closure of muscular ventricular septal defects in a pig modelarticle
