Hello, congenital heart disease includes many different pathologies, from simple to complex. Depending on the disease, it can be completely cured, partially cured or only temporary solutions to help patients improve their quality of life.
Diseases that can be completely cured such as ventricular septal defect, atrial septal defect, tetralogy of Fallot, ductus arteriosus, coarctation of the aorta, transposition of the great arteries... Some diseases can only be treated temporarily. such as monoventricular heart, ventricular hypoplasia, complex congenital heart diseases. You should take your child to an examination and echocardiogram at Vinmec International General Hospital so that the doctors can fully evaluate and advise you more carefully.
