Abstract

Abstract Two cases of self-sealing ventricular septal defects in children have been presented. The clinical and pathologic data indicate that each closure was produced by the fibrous adherence of the medical leaflet of the tricuspid valve to the ventricular septum and had occurred as an acquired condition after birth. The pathogenesis of the self-sealing process is discussed briefly. The data of these cases now provide one confirmed anatomic basis for the explanation of the spontaneous closure of some high ventricular septal defects.
