ventricular septal defects (vsd)

What are the Treatment Options for VSD?

Treatment depends on the size of the VSD and the severity of symptoms:
Small VSDs: Often do not require treatment and may close on their own as the child grows.
Moderate to Large VSDs: May require medical management with medications such as diuretics, ACE inhibitors, or beta-blockers to manage symptoms.
Surgical Intervention: In cases where the VSD does not close on its own or causes significant symptoms, surgical repair may be necessary. This can involve patching the hole or using a device to close it.
