Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) • Ventricular septal defect is a hole in the wall that separates the right and left ventricles of the heart. • It is one of the most common congenital (present from birth) heart defects. It may occur by itself or with other congenital diseases. • The ventricular septum consists of an inferior muscular and superior membranous portion and is extensively innervated with conducting cardiomyocytes.

Types of Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) • Newborns with ventricular septal defects can have one or more holes in the septum. Some of the more common ventricular septal defect types include: • Cono-ventricular- in which the septal hole occurs just below the aortic and pulmonary valves. • Peri-membranous- a hole in the upper ventricular septum. • Inlet- a hole close to where blood enters the heart through the tricuspid and mitral valves (this defect might be part of an atrio-ventricular septal defect). • Muscular- the most common ventricular septal defect type, characterized by a hole located in the muscular, lower ventricular septum.

Clinical Symptoms of VSD • Fast breathing • Sweating • Pallor • Very fast heartbeats • Decreased feeding • Poor weight gain
Surgery for VSD • Intra-Cardiac Approach is the most common technique and is done while the patient is under cardiopulmonary bypass (a "heart-lung machine") and is an open-heart operation. This is the procedure of choice for most children and at most pediatric surgical centers. • Trans-Catheter Technique uses surgical instruments that are passed through catheters placed in the patient's large blood vessels into the heart. • This "trans-catheter approach" is generally more difficult and should only be considered on select patients and at pediatric centers that have expertise in such a procedure.
