Ventricular septal defects of the subxiphoid type are prone to aortic prolapse, which can lead to aortic valve closure insufficiency, and surgical treatment needs to be considered as soon as possible.
1. If the ventricular septal defect is left untreated for a long period of time, the aortic valve will gradually develop deformity and the sinus enlargement structure will change, then the temporary functional regurgitation of the aortic valve will turn into organic regurgitation, which will affect the function of the valve, and once the progression is serious, it is necessary to do the aortic valve repair surgery at the same time. Therefore, as long as the age is appropriate, surgery can be considered before the regurgitation changes.
2. In the case of larger ventricular septal defects of the subxiphoid type, surgery should be performed as soon as it is detected without considering the age factor.
In addition to symptomatic treatment after surgery, we should also pay attention to the observation of the patient’s diet, sleep and mental state, etc., and should consult a doctor in time when abnormalities are found, so as to avoid delaying the condition and causing other complications.
