Objective: To understand the clinical manifestation of subarterial ventricular septal defect (sVSD) and master the operation indication properly.

Methods: It was studied for 325 cases of sVSD by operation confirmation. To observe the relation of each age group with patients who complicated pulmonary artery hypertension (PHA) and aortic valve disease (AVD).aortic valve regurgitation aortic value prolapse aortic sinus rapture and  the  relation  between the size of VSD with PAH and AVD.

Results: 1) 294 cases of sVSD was checked by echocardiography. The positive was 90.4%.  2) The incidence and severe degree of patients who complicated PAH were decreased with advancing age. When age<1 year, the incidence of PAH was 70%, decreased to 30% at 14 years.  3) It has a significant increase for patient who complicated AVD with advancing age. The incidence of aortic valve disease was 43.4% at 14 years.  4) The incidence and severe degree of PHV had evidently increased with the advancing VSD, when the size of VSD >10mm, the severe degree of PAH was up to 40% and it had evidently increased for patients who complicated aortic valve disease with the advancing VSD was up to 38%. 5) With the advancing VSD increasing, the incidence of complicated AVD was increased when the size of VSD < 20mm, but decreased when the size of VSD 20mm. The incidence rates of AVD were 28.3%, 41.2% and 8.3% (P<0.05) respectively when the diameter of VSD < 10mm, ~20mm and 20mm. 6) Patch operation of patients was 311 cases (95.7%). Cure rate of operation was 98.2%. Mortality was 1.8%. Operational effect was satisfied. 

Conclusion: Due to anatomical factor and hemodynamic characteristic, the natural closure of sVSD was rarely achieved, serious complication was complicated,easily in the sVCD. So it is suggested that when sVSD was diagnosed, the early operation was needed as early as possible.
