VSD Closure Surgery
Trusted by Patients From 35+ Countries
What is VSD Closure Surgery?
VSD Closure Surgery is a procedure used to repair a hole in the wall (septum) separating the two lower chambers of the heart (ventricles), a condition known as Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD).
This defect allows oxygen-rich and oxygen-poor blood to mix, putting extra strain on the heart and lungs. The procedure closes the hole either through open-heart surgery or minimally invasive catheter-based techniques, restoring normal blood circulation.
Why is VSD Closure Surgery Done?
VSD closure is performed to prevent complications and improve heart function. It is recommended when:
- The defect is moderate to large
- The patient has symptoms like breathlessness, poor feeding, or fatigue
- There is excessive blood flow to the lungs
- The heart shows signs of enlargement
- There is a risk of complications like pulmonary hypertension or heart failure
Early treatment helps ensure normal growth and long-term heart health.
Who is an Eligible Candidate for VSD Closure Surgery in India?
Patients who may be eligible include:
- Infants, children, or adults diagnosed with VSD
- Babies with poor weight gain or feeding difficulties
- Patients with significant left-to-right blood shunting
- Individuals with symptoms affecting daily life
- Patients medically fit for surgery or catheter-based closure
In India, cardiologists assess the size, location, and severity of the defect before recommending treatment.
Types of VSD Closure Surgery
There are two primary approaches:
1. Surgical VSD Closure
- Open-heart surgery performed under general anesthesia
- The defect is closed using a patch or sutures
- Preferred for large or complex VSDs
2. Device Closure (Catheter-Based)
- Minimally invasive procedure
- A closure device is placed via a catheter
- Suitable for selected cases with favorable anatomy
Diagnostic Tests Done Before VSD Closure Surgery
Before the procedure, detailed evaluation is done:
- Echocardiography (2D Echo / Doppler study)
- Electrocardiogram (ECG)
- Chest X-ray
- Cardiac catheterization (in select cases)
- CT scan or MRI (if required)
- Blood tests and oxygen level assessment
These tests help confirm diagnosis and guide treatment planning.
