Question

How to care for a baby with a hole in the heart?

Answer

The baby has a ventricular septal defect of 6MM and an atrial septal defect of 3.3MM, with mild pulmonary hypertension, which is a simple congenital heart disease. Due to the pulmonary hypertension, it is recommended that the child undergo surgery when they are older, as they are too small now. There are four types of surgery for simple congenital heart disease: interventional, axillary small incision, conventional thoracotomy, and thoracoscopy. The specific treatment plan needs to be determined based on the patient’s age and condition.
