Ventricular Septal Defect Closure. Dr Mustafa Bilge Erdogan. ISU Liv Hospital Bahcesehir
Return to a full life!
A ventricular septal defect (VSD) is a congenital heart defect that can significantly impact your quality of life. But don't worry, we have a solution! Our clinic offers advanced methods for VSD closure that can help you return to an active and healthy life.
Ventricular septal defect (VSD) closure is a surgical procedure aimed at eliminating the hole in the septum between the right and left ventricles of the heart. This defect can lead to the mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood, which can cause various cardiovascular problems.
Symptoms of ventricular septal defect
- Significant blood flow through the defect, which can lead to overload of the lungs and heart
- Symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, or frequent respiratory infections
- Prevention of long-term complications such as pulmonary hypertension
Methods of VSD closure
- Open surgery: A traditional method involving an incision in the chest and the use of a heart-lung bypass machine
- Catheter intervention: A less invasive method where a catheter with an occluder (a device for closing the defect) is inserted through the femoral vein
Possible risks and complications
- Bleeding
- Infection
- Arrhythmias (abnormal heart rhythms)
- Rarely, damage to heart valves or major blood vessels
After the VSD closure procedure, the patient typically remains in the hospital under observation for a few days. Physical activity is usually restricted for some time. Regular follow-up visits are recommended to monitor the heart's condition.
VSD closure usually leads to an improvement in symptoms and quality of life. It reduces the risk of long-term complications such as pulmonary hypertension and heart failure.
Closing a ventricular septal defect is an important procedure to improve heart function and prevent potential complications associated with this congenital heart defect.
