summary

Ventricular septal defect (VSD) is caused by the incomplete development of the child in the embryonic period. The shunt of the ventricle is abnormal, which makes the blood in the ventricle shunt from the left to the right. The common disease is congenital heart disease, which requires bypass surgery. VSD may exist alone or with other diseases. The distance of the defect is about 0.1 ~ 0.3 cm, generally less than 0.5 cm, there will be no discomfort. If the defect is larger than 0.5cm, the left ventricle will be much larger than the right ventricle.

Nowadays, with the development of medical science and technology, the treatment of ventricular septal defect has also made a big step forward. We can observe the development of pulmonary artery through a series of examinations, and then consider whether to carry out surgical treatment. Moreover, the success rate of surgery is much higher than before, so the family need not worry.

Ventricular septal defect is very easy to be infected, after infection will produce complications, will cause cardiopulmonary insufficiency. If the occurrence of organic pulmonary hypertension, then children can not self-healing, so parents need to pay attention to the specific situation of pulmonary artery while waiting for self-healing, to prevent the occurrence of pulmonary hypertension.

Ventricular septal defect may be self-healing, but it is only limited to children under four years old. If it cannot be self-healing after four years old, it is suggested that it can be treated by surgery. However, not all children can self-healing, with age, complications, defect size has a great relationship, so parents should pay more attention.

matters needing attention

If the child's age is not more than five years old, you can wait to see if it can self-healing, pay attention to observe the child's condition at any time, see if there are complications, if there is no self-healing, then carry out the operation treatment.
