At 20 days of age, a ventricular septal defect is found

Hello, congenital heart disease: ventricular septal defect (, 21-day-old baby, there is a possibility of natural closure.

If the ventricular septal defect does not close naturally before the age of four, or if the development is poor before the age of four, the child is prone to colds or pneumonia, and the ventricular septal defect tends to increase, surgery is needed, because the child remembers things after the age of four. At the age of four, the success rate is nearly 100%. The total cost of surgery at the age of four is about 10,0007, which varies from hospital to hospital in different regions.

After surgery, it is the same as a normal child. There are no sequelae.

At present, it is recommended that children have a cardiac ultrasound every six months, pay attention to prevent colds, and breastfeed.

If you are older than four years of age and have congenital heart disease: ventricular septal defect (with a heart murmur), "ventricular septal defect repair" is recommended. Surgery is required on the following grounds:

1. If there is a heart murmur, the heart murmur affects your mood;

2. Patients and their families have psychological burdens;

3. Ventricular septal defect may lead to infective endocarditis, conduction tract damage and aortic regurgitation.

4. In hospitals with mature technology, the success rate of ventricular septal defect repair is basically 100%.

The total cost of hospitalization for ventricular septal defect repair is about 18,000 to 20,000 yuan, which may vary significantly from hospital to hospital in different regions.

In large, well-established cardiovascular surgery centers, the success rate of "ventricular septal defect repair" is basically 100%. ** After the same as a normal person. It does not affect the patient's work and life.

If you have surgery, it is recommended to go to a hospital that performs a small cosmetic incision in the right armpit for ventricular septal defect repair.

After surgery, it is the same as a normal person. There are no sequelae.

In developed countries, minimally invasive closure is limited to muscular ventricular septal defects and patent ductus arteriosus.

I hope the above reply is helpful to you and I wish you good health.

Now that the child is not born for a long time, the pulmonary artery resistance does not drop very much, and after a while you can have a repeat echocardio**, and the shunt speed may be faster. You can check out my library article "** Strategies for Ventricular Septal Defects", which articles all your questions.

It is recommended to go to the hospital for regular check-ups, and then consider it when it is bigger**.

When she was pregnant, she had a prenatal check-up and found that the fetus had a ventricular septal defect in her heart. However, after the child is born, there is a real problem of ventricular septal defect, and at this time, the parents regret giving birth to him. So, what to do if you regret giving birth to a baby with a ventricular septal defect?

Parents regret giving birth to a baby with ventricular septal defect and have no choice, since the baby has been born, they need to be responsible for the baby's life and take the responsibility for the baby's treatment. Ventricular septal defect is a congenital heart disease, it can be divided into severe and mild, if the area of the ventricular septal defect is relatively small, temporarily observe, and then regularly recheck to see if the ventricular septal defect has healed in the baby's growth.

If the baby's ventricular septal defect has not healed for many years, or if the ventricular septal defect is found to be large at birth, surgery is needed as soon as possible. The successful closure of the ventricular septal defect through surgery does not have much impact on the baby's future growth and development.

After the baby suffers from ventricular septal defect, he needs to have regular check-ups, and at the same time, pay more attention to his life, don't let the baby do intense exercise, and don't let the baby's mood fluctuate too much. Parents spend more time and effort on taking care of their babies in their daily lives, and there will be no big problems, and I hope that every parent will take their own responsibilities.

For this child, the most important thing is the size of the ventricular septal defect, which is less than 5mm and less likely to close naturally for a ventricular septal defect larger than 5mm.

Congenital heart disease, ventricular septal defect, if the child's development, diet, and physical constitution are significantly affected, such as low weight, frequent colds or pneumonia, it is recommended to have surgery as soon as possible**, because the baby's various organs and systems are immature, the risk will increase, and it is recommended to operate after half a year of age as much as possible.

Not all hospitals that perform heart surgery can perform heart surgery for infants and young children, so go to the ward and check if there are any infants and the number of infants.

The ** plan of congenital heart disease and ventricular septal defect You can search for "** strategy of ventricular septal defect", which is very detailed.

After surgery, it is the same as a normal child. There are no sequelae.
