VSD Closure

Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) is one of the most common congenital heart conditions, where a hole develops in the wall (septum) dividing the heart’s lower chambers. This allows oxygen-rich blood to mix with oxygen-poor blood, forcing the heart lungs to work harder.
Cost of Treatment in India:
Approximate Cost: USD 4,500 – 5,000
The final cost may vary depending on the hospital, surgical method, individual case complexities.
Types of VSD:
Perimembranous VSD: Most common; near the tricuspid aortic valves.
Muscular VSD: Lower septum; may close naturally.
Inlet VSD: Near blood inflow valves; often linked to other cardiac defects.
Outlet VSD: Close to blood outflow valves; less common.

Common Symptoms:
Heart murmur detected during physical exams, Shortness of breath during activity, Fatigue, Frequent respiratory infections
Diagnostic Tests:

Echocardiogram: Visualises heart structure blood flow.
Chest X-ray: Assesses heart size lung condition.
Electrocardiogram (ECG): Analyses heart rhythm electrical activity.

Treatment Options:
Medication to manage symptoms.
Surgical repair (patch or stitches) for larger defects.
Monitoring via regular cardiology follow-ups for small, stable VSDs.
With early diagnosis expert care, most patients with VSD can lead a healthy, active life.
