Ventricular Septal Defects

Clinical and Echocardiographic Outcome of Percutaneous Closure of Ventricular Septal Defects

“…The natural history of VSDs is variable. It has been estimated that spontaneous closure may occur in 12-84% of the defects, with higher rates associated with smaller defects [2][3][4][5]. Persistent small defects usually remain asymptomatic and require no treatment unless complicated, while larger defects present early in life with congestive heart failure symptoms and warrant closure [2,5].…”
