Anonymous question
Answer
Hello! According to the information you provided, I have two heart injuries that need attention. Usually with simple ventricular septal defect. Currently, there are many large Centers/Hospitals across the country that can intervene to seal the hole with instruments. However, the condition of your heart valve regurgitation as you mentioned is unknown: which valve? Level of openness?
Usually, if mitral or aortic regurgitation is severe with a ventricular septal defect, the doctor will prescribe open surgery to resolve two heart injuries at the same time. Conversely, if the regurgitation is mild or as a result of ventricular septal defect, only intervention (laparotomy) is required to close the septal defect.
It is best for you to take him to a medical center that specializes in Cardiology or a hospital under Vinmec Health System for further advice on a 24-year-old case of ventricular septal defect and heart valve regurgitation. From there, your doctor will discuss with you the best course of treatment for your child.
Thank you for trusting and sharing questions with Vinmec. Wish your family good health always.
