Can PM VSD be close to its own ?
Hello all , I am too worried .. my son is born prematurely at 34 wks weight 1.6kg . currently he is 9 months old and weighs 6.5kg . He has a small VSD with moderate flow . Did it close on its own .. ? I am a bit confused Also one of the paediatric cardiologists told me that he is having moderate size PMVSD . Another top renowned paediatric cardiologist told me it's a small size PM VSD with moderate flow . Will it be close by its own ? Attaching both the reports.

Usually small sized pm vsd close with in around like 6-12mnths. Generally those vsd's with signs of left heart overload or symptoms of feeding difficulty/failure to thrive/recurrent pneumonia., etc needs to be addressed. You better follow up with a paediatric cardiologist.
