Treatment options for ventricular septal defects, first of all what is a ventricular septal defect, ventricular septal defects are the most common type of congenital heart disease, accounting for about 25% of the total. Ventricular septal defects can exist alone or in combination with other cardiac malformations, it can occur anywhere such as the membranes, outflow tracts, endocardial cushions and the base, but the membranes are the most common. Most of the ventricular septal defects can get smaller or heal naturally in the first year of life. 25%-40% of ventricular septal defects may close by themselves at the age of 3-4 years. Small perimembranous and basal ventricular septal defects can be easily cured, and even large ventricular septal defects of about 7% can be cured in people with heart failure. Generally if heart failure occurs in infancy, it should be treated with digitalis, diuretics and vasodilator drugs internally, and internal treatment of large ventricular septal defects at any age is ineffective. If pulmonary hypertension has developed in infancy, the pulmonary to body circulation ratio is greater than 2:1, and cristae type ventricular septal defects require surgical treatment, and small ventricular septal defects should be surgically repaired in preschool years because of the risk of endocarditis infection.
