Ventricular septal defects of 3mm, occurring in children under 5 years of age at the perimembranous and muscular trabecular portions have the possibility of natural closure, and the possibility of self-healing in adults is low.
1.Ventricular septal defect is a common congenital cardiac anomaly, accounting for about 10%~20% of congenital cardiovascular diseases. it occurs in the perimembranous part and the trabecular part of the muscle in children under the age of 5 years with the possibility of natural closure, and the possibility of self-healing in adult patients is relatively low, and it is recommended to consult a doctor in time if accompanied by symptoms, so that the treatment can be carried out as soon as possible.
2. The current treatment of ventricular septal defect is mainly interventional and surgical treatment.
(1) Interventional therapy: For ventricular septal defects with appropriate conditions and size, the success rate of interventional occlusion therapy can reach 100%.
(2) Surgical treatment: ventricular septal defect repair. Surgery is contraindicated if the patient has significant pulmonary hypertension (pulmonary vascular resistance > 7 Wood units).
If ventricular septal defect is found, it is recommended to go to the hospital promptly.
