Patient's question:
Child's 88-day cardiac ultrasound examination revealed a ventricular septal defect. Recently had a cold and was found to have a defect of 2.7 mm. Can it heal?Doctor's answer:
Hello, I'm glad to help you with your question: According to your description, ventricular septal defect is the most common type of congenital heart disease. Generally, for small ventricular septal defects in infants under one year old, there is a certain possibility of spontaneous healing. Based on your description, if the child has no special circumstances, it is recommended to have a follow-up echocardiogram after six months, and then decide whether and when to perform surgical treatment!
