Hi, doctor. My daughter was detected 5mm perimembranous VSD, 3/6 heart murmur, 50 days after her birth. Now she is 3 yrs, growing well, very active & healthy.
We are yet to start any treatment. Only do echocardiogram very half or a year.
The Dec. 2010 echo result is that the VSD is 3.4 mm, partially covered by the tricuspid valve tissue to blocking part of the hole, and the base of the hole is 5.9 mm. The L-R shunt velocity is 4.29 m/s. MR-trivial, TR-trivial, PI-trivial, AI-none. But there is also a 3/6 murmur.
I learned from this forum that perimembranous VSD is near the aortic valve, and one potential dangerous is the aortic valve cusp prolapsed or valve leakage. Her VSD is perimembranous inlet & tublercular. Please let me know how is the potential dangerous of the aortic valve involved for this location? And what should we do next? Is she requires surgery, if the VSD did not close by itself at 5-6 yrs? and what else we need do?
Thanks a lot, doctor.
