Answer
Hello, doctor would like to answer the question: “Can a 1.5mm ventricular septal defect be detected in the fetus? ” as follows:
Fetal echocardiography is a new technique used in recent times to help detect birth defects of the fetus right from the womb. However, like other techniques, fetal echocardiography also has a certain sensitivity in detecting lesions. With a ventricular septal defect, fetal echocardiography can detect holes of 2-3 mm or more, while with a small ventricular septal defect of 1.5 mm, it is easy to miss.
You can go to the nearest medical facility or Vinmec Health System Hospital for more detailed examination and advice by doctors. Best regards!
