Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) in Children | Dr. Pradeep Kaushik

Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) is a congenital heart defect where an abnormal opening occurs between the heart's lower chambers, the ventricles. This condition is commonly present at birth and can be diagnosed through fetal cardiac scans during pregnancy. If left untreated, VSD can cause complications as the child grows, affecting their overall development and heart health.

In this video, Dr. Pradeep Kumar Kaushik, Senior Consultant in Paediatric Cardiac Surgery at NH SRCC Children's Hospital, Mumbai, explains the nature of Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) in children, the symptoms, and the need for early diagnosis and intervention. Open-heart surgery is often required to correct the defect and prevent complications, such as heart failure, by repairing the hole between the ventricles.

Dr. Kaushik discusses how VSD treatment is critical for ensuring that the child grows and develops without further heart-related problems. The earlier the defect is diagnosed, the easier it is to perform surgery and correct the condition. Pediatric cardiac surgeons like Dr. Kaushik specialize in heart surgeries for children and have the expertise to perform successful treatments, including open-heart surgery for VSD.

If your child has been diagnosed with Ventricular Septal Defect, or if you're seeking information on congenital heart defects and their treatment options, this video provides valuable insights into the condition and its management.

Majority of VSD cases heal by their own . i.e. in small to mild VSD, the hole in the heart closes spontaneously without treatment by the age 3- 4 yrs. No treatments required at all. Even for larger holes can be successfully closed through cardiac catheterization, thus avoiding open heart surgery. However I am surprised here the doctor did not say a single word regarding spontaneous closures.
