Hi. Apart from size we need to look at other findings on echo heart to decide for surgery. Also how is weight gain? Any symptoms like breathlessness? Any medication? Generally we can wait for 4 yrs to allow for the VSD to close on its own. In your child it seems to be becoming smaller.

Can take another Pediatric Cardiologist opinion
