Treatment Atrial and ventricular septal defect

Statistically, about 30 percent of chamber compartment baffles usually heal spontaneously without significant intervention, but this only applies to smaller baffles. Atrial defects can also cause the opening to close spontaneously, especially during development, but even here these are only very smaller defects that would most likely not even occur. With regard to insignificant defects, some may not close and it is only necessary to thoroughly prevent possible complications, such as infectious endocarditis.

In this case, it is an inflammation of the inner lining of the heart, which in some cases can be fatal. For more significant and larger defects, which also manifest themselves, surgical closure of this defect, either directly in the heart or correction of the defect, is chosen by inserting a flexible catheter from one of the peripheral vessels, for example, the femoral. In the case of closing the counter, the most suitable for this is a child or preschool age, provided, of course, that the disease has been detected.
