Question
The child has reduced cardiac function and a ventricular septal defect. What is the best treatment for pediatric congenital heart disease?
Answer
Hello, generally speaking, there is a possibility of spontaneous recovery before the age of five, but it seems unlikely at this point. If treatment is necessary, either surgery or interventional treatment can be considered. 2. If interventional treatment is chosen, medication will be required post-surgery, typically for about half a year. If surgery is performed, there are no special precautions to take during daily life. Chest surgery does not require medication. 3. Currently, there are no age restrictions for surgery, and it is generally recommended to be done at around five years old. 4. There should be no risk during childbirth if she becomes a mother in the future. 5. The total cost of treatment ranges from thousands to tens of thousands of yuan, varying by hospital. From admission to discharge, it takes about a month. 6. The surgical treatment for this condition involves an incision under the right armpit. Your daughter’s condition can be considered for this method.
