Ventricular septal defect is a common congenital heart disease with a high rate in cardiovascular diseases. The disease can lead to many complications on the heart, lungs and whole body. Surgical repair of ventricular septal defect is an effective surgical treatment.

1. Ventricular septal disease

Ventricular septal defect is a leading cardiovascular disease in congenital heart defects (accounting for 30-40%). Due to defects in the fetus, the interventricular septum (the wall between the two ventricles) is not closed, there is one or more holes between the two ventricles. If left untreated, ventricular septal defect will progress to fixed pulmonary artery pressure, accompanied by many complications, reducing the patient's life expectancy and quality of life. If the ventricular septal defect is repaired at an early stage, the patient can recover completely.
Most ventricular septal defects can close on their own within the first year, even with age there are cases of self-closing (but rarer). If the vent cannot be closed, the vent size must be reduced. Usually, for babies who have a congenital ventricular septal defect at a young age and the septal defect is not too large, does not affect too much or is not life-threatening, it is necessary to wait one year before starting to consider surgical repair. interventricular. For large ventricular septal defect, it is necessary to closely monitor if the stoma does not close down, then surgery at 4-6 months of age. Should not be too large openings can cause irreversible damage, it is best to have surgery before school age.

2. Ventricular septal patch surgery

Ventricular septal patch surgery is a surgical technique to treat cardiovascular disease, patch the septal defect and restore the physiological function of the heart. If left untreated, ventricular septal defect will progress to fixed pulmonary arterial hypertension, accompanied by complications that reduce the patient's life expectancy and quality of life. If the ventricular septal defect is repaired at an early stage, the patient can recover completely.

Advantages of ventricular septal defect patching technique at Vinmec Modern surgical techniques at Vinmec can thoroughly patch the ventricular septal defect, avoiding complications, especially those affecting heart valves. Helping patients recover almost completely normal health, improving the patient's quality of life.
At Vinmec, there is a Hybrid operating room with advanced equipment such as DSA 2 plane angiography machine, Anesthesia machine with integrated patient hemodynamic monitoring software (PICCO system, Entropy... ). Therefore, the Hybrid operating room can meet the requirements of occlusive intervention despite ventricular septal defect, in case of failure of ventricular septal defect, surgery can be transferred immediately, bringing maximum safety to the patient, helping to improve patient safety. patients recover soon. Cardiologists at Vinmec have been trained and certified to perform the following techniques:
