Every VSD With Aortic Valve Prolapse Should Be Closed?

Welcome to this video on the question of whether every ventricular septal defect (VSD) with aortic valve prolapse should be closed. A VSD is a type of congenital heart defect that occurs when there is a hole in the wall separating the left and right ventricles of the heart. Aortic valve prolapse is a condition in which the aortic valve does not close properly, causing blood to leak back into the left ventricle.
The decision to close a VSD with aortic valve prolapse depends on a number of factors, including the size of the hole and the severity of the valve prolapse. In some cases, the hole may be small enough and the valve prolapse may be mild enough that they do not require treatment. In other cases, the hole may be larger or the valve prolapse may be more severe, in which case closure may be recommended.
If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with a VSD with aortic valve prolapse, be sure to speak with your healthcare provider about the best course of treatment. They will be able to assess your specific situation and recommend the most appropriate course of action. Thank you for watching!
