Saving Your Children’s Hearts – The Importance of Treating VSD”

Ventricular septal defect (VSD) closure is a surgical procedure used to repair a hole in the wall separating the two lower chambers of the heart (ventricles). This hole, known as a VSD, allows blood to flow between the two ventricles, leading to abnormal oxygen levels in the body and an increased risk of heart failure. VSD surgery cost in India depends on several factors still India offers pocket – friendly pediatric heart surgery world wide.

There are several reasons why India may be a good option for ventricular septal defect closure Cost, Expertise, Infrastructure, and Patient-friendly policies.

Diagnosis of Ventricular Septal Defect

• Echocardiogram
• Chest X-ray
• Electrocardiogram
• Cardiac Magnetic resonance imaging

Types of procedure for treating Ventricular Septal Defect

1.    Surgical Repair

During the process, the surgeon opens the chest by making an incision. He then uses a patch or other material to close the hole. The surgery successfully corrected the defect and improved the patient’s heart function.

Merits

• Improves fatigue, and rapid & shortening of breathing.
• Decreases risk of heart failure and arrhythmias.
• It improves oxygen levels.

2.    Catheter-based closure

A small catheter is inserted through a vein in the leg and guided to the heart to place a device that closes the defect. This procedure is usually done on older children or adults.

Merits

• Performed with minimal sedation
• Minimal scarring
• Fewer complications compared to open-heart surgery.

3.    Transcatheter closure

Like catheter-based closure, a device is inserted through a vein in the neck rather than the leg. This procedure is usually done on more minor defects or patients who are not good candidates for surgery.

Merits

• Less invasive than open heart surgery
• Reduced risk of infection
• Quicker return to normal activities

4.    Robotic Procedure

The robotic procedure involves making small incisions in the chest and using a robotic arm to insert and manipulate surgical instruments. It is a minimally invasive surgery where the hole is closed by sutures or a patch. The surgeon controls the robot from a console, allowing for precise movements. The robotic procedure has a shorter recovery time and fewer complications.

Merits

• Minimally Invasive procedure
• More Precise
• Painless , infection less ,blood less procedure
• Faster recovery due to small cut size

In some cases, the defect is minor and does not cause significant symptoms, so it is not treated with any of the above procedures. Instead, the patient is monitored with regular check-ups and treated with medications.
