Newborn room defect, atrial septal defect, right heart enlargement, main pulmonary artery and branch stenosis

Patient's question:

A 3-day-old boy was found to have congenital heart disease during examination: stenosis of the main pulmonary artery and its branches, ventricular septal defect (right-to-left shunt), atrial septal defect (right-to-left shunt), right heart enlargement, and prolapse of the anterior leaf of the tricuspid valve with significant regurgitation. Can it be cured? Are there any sequelae?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if the child has congenital heart disease, it is generally due to the heart valves not closing properly, which can easily lead to problems such as difficulty breathing or hypoxia. Surgical treatment can be scheduled. For now, focus on daily care and conditioning, and have regular follow-up examinations.
