About VSD (Ventricular Septal Defect) Closure
VSD closure repairs a hole between the heart's two lower chambers with a patch, or sometimes a device. It is most often done in infants and children, and less often in adults.
In the usual operation the child is under general anaesthesia on a heart-lung machine, and the surgeon sews a patch over the hole through the right atrium or ventricle. Selected defects can be closed with a device passed through a catheter, and some small holes close on their own and need only observation.
Usually a good fit if
- Large defects causing heart failure, poor growth or breathing problems in babies and children.
- Moderate defects with enlarged heart chambers or progressive aortic valve problems.
- Adults with a significant left-to-right shunt and symptoms.
May need to wait if
- Very high lung pressures (Eisenmenger physiology), where closing the hole may be harmful.
- Small defects that are closing or causing no problems, where observation is preferred.
- Active infection that should be treated first.
How to prepare
- Bring all echo reports and cardiac catheter or MRI findings that show the size and position of the hole.
- Expect echo, ECG, chest X-ray and blood tests; adults may also need a coronary check.
- Treat chest infections and dental problems beforehand and keep vaccinations up to date.
- Ask the cardiologist about diuretics or other medicines; follow their instruction only.
- Arrange a companion for the child or adult, and plan flight timing with the surgeon.
Questions to ask your surgeon
- Is surgery or a device closure better for this type of VSD?
- Where is the defect, and does it affect nearby valves or the electrical system?
- How many VSD closures does your team perform each year?
- Is paediatric cardiac intensive care available?
- What is the risk of heart block needing a pacemaker?
- What follow-up and activity limits apply afterwards?
Red flags when comparing hospitals
- No echo or catheter assessment of lung pressures before recommending closure.
- Closing a very small defect with no symptoms, without clear reasoning.
- No paediatric cardiac anaesthesia or intensive care for children.
- No follow-up plan after repair.

How long does a medical visa for Turkey take?
e-Visa or Medical Visa (USHAŞ-facilitated): processing takes about 3 days and the visa is valid for 90 days. We help with the hospital invitation letter.
Will the hole close on its own?
Small defects often close naturally in childhood. Large defects usually do not, so they are repaired when they cause symptoms.
Is a pacemaker likely?
Heart block is uncommon but a recognised risk because the hole lies near the electrical pathway. The team will monitor rhythm closely.
Can my child play sports later?
Most children return to normal activity after recovery and review, but your cardiologist will confirm for your child.
