Once detected, the patient should consult the doctor about the procedure. The patient needs to follow each instruction provided by the surgeon. As a prerequisite, patients are advised not to eat or drink anything after midnight before the day of surgery. 

The doctor may ask for some tests before the surgery such as:

• Blood test

• Echocardiogram

• Electrocardiogram

• Chest X-ray

These tests help the surgeon to understand the overall condition of the patient.

Generally, the surgeon performs the surgery in the following ways:

• The doctor will give anesthesia to the patient before starting the surgery. Because of that, the patient will not feel any kind of pain during the procedure.

• Then the doctor starts the surgery which may take around several hours. The surgeon will make an incision in the middle of the chest to reach the heart and close the hole with the help of tightly woven patch material.

Once the procedure has been completed, the incision will be stitched back.

After the surgery, the patient will be kept in the recovery room for many hours or depending on the case the patient can be shifted to the ICU. The medical staff will closely monitor the patient’s activities like his heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen level, or breathing. The surgeon may ask for further tests such as an electrocardiogram or an echocardiogram. After such surgeries, patients’ health is closely monitored for about 5-7 days at the hospital, post which the doctor may allow the patient to go home.

After being discharged, the patient should take proper medication and follow the guidelines provided by the surgeon. Usually, the patient can get back to normal routine after a few weeks. But initially, the patient may feel some weakness. He/she should avoid the activities that cause a lot of physical exertion.

It is advisable to keep your surgeon informed if the patient experience excess swelling, bleeding, fever, or other symptoms. A regular check-up is required for some time after the surgery.

A ventricular septal defect is a serious problem that may run in families and sometimes it is caused by some genetic issues. If your first child is suffering from VSD, you should consult a genetic counselor before having the second baby.

A VSD smaller in nature can be cured gradually with the growth of the heart. But a VSD that is bigger in nature needs special medical attention. This disorder can lead to the following complications:

• Pulmonary hypertension

• Heart failure

• Endocarditis

• Infection

• Excess bleeding

• Abnormal heart rhythm

• Heart block

These complications can be based on various factors such as age, size of the hole in the heart or any other heart problems.
