Data confidence 70 medium

How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

A ventricular septal defect is one of the foremost prevalent congenital heart defects, accounting for around 20% of all congenital heart malformations. Nowadays, there are three surgical methods for ventricular septal defect: surgical treatment of ventricular septal defect with a heart-lung machine, interventional closure of ventricular septal defect by percutaneous puncture, and hybrid operation (with no heart-lung machine). Hybrid operation – there is some of the latest evolutions introduced in cardiac surgical treatment practice. This technique is mild, to reduce surgical trauma, and perform not connecting the patient to the heart-lung machine, without X-ray exposure, and there are additional indications than the interventional procedure. The article reviewed literature sources on the surgical treatments of the ventricular septal defect and the results of the above methods, and also considers more detail especially hybrid operation (without a heart-lung machine).
