Questions
Is there a possibility of natural recovery for a 3.1-mm secondary atrioventricular defect without treatment? Is the baby’s crying during breastfeeding related to the heart defect? What is the best time for surgery if it is necessary?
Answers
Congenital heart disease is one of the most common types in infants. According to your situation, your baby is currently three months old and has a secondary atrioventricular defect with a low probability of self-healing. The baby’s crying during breastfeeding is usually not directly related to the heart defect. It is recommended to consider surgical treatment after the baby turns three years old. This is our suggestion for the question regarding “the possibility of self-healing for a 3.1-mm secondary atrioventricular defect.” We hope our answer can be helpful to you, and wish your baby good health!
