How VSD Repair is performed
A common practice is to enter the heart through a chest incision under general anesthesia and cardiopulmonary bypass, selecting the incision path according to the location of the defect. The defect is usually closed with a patch or sutures, and intraoperative ultrasound is used to check for residual shunts and valve function. Drainage is placed and the patient is transferred to the intensive care unit. The early focus is on monitoring circulation, breathing, and bleeding, with the goal of eliminating abnormal shunts and restoring stable cardiac function. The above is general health information, not medical advice; the specific situation is subject to specialist evaluation and hospital plan.
