What is VSD Closure Surgery?

VSD closure surgery is a procedure used to repair a Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD), it is a hole in the wall (septum) that separates the heart’s lower chambers (ventricles). This defect allows oxygen-rich and oxygen-poor blood to mix, forcing the heart to work harder.

Who Requires VSD Closure Surgery in Turkey?

Patients may be advised Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) closure when the defect is significant enough to affect heart function or overall health. Typical candidates include:

Patients with moderate to large VSDs
Infants or children with poor weight gain or delayed growth
Individuals experiencing shortness of breath or rapid breathing
Patients with frequent respiratory infections
Evidence of heart enlargement on imaging
Signs of excess blood flow to the lungs
Development of pulmonary hypertension (high lung pressure)
Persistent fatigue or low exercise tolerance
Symptoms of heart failure
VSD causing significant heart murmurs with complications
Patients at risk of long-term cardiac damage
Defects that do not close naturally over time
Selected patients suitable for device (catheter-based) closure
Patients requiring surgical repair for complex defects

Types of Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD)

Type of VSD	Description
Perimembranous VSD	The most common type. Located near the upper section of the ventricular septum, close to the heart valves. May vary in size and often requires closure if large.
Muscular VSD	Found in the lower muscular portion of the septum. Can occur as single or multiple holes. Smaller defects may close naturally, especially in infants.
Inlet VSD	Located near the area where blood enters the ventricles. Often associated with congenital heart conditions and may require surgical correction.
Outlet (Supracristal) VSD	Situated near the outflow tracts of the ventricles. Less common but more likely to affect valve function, sometimes needing early intervention.

Types of VSD Closure Surgery

Surgery Type	Description
Surgical VSD Closure (Open-Heart Surgery)	Traditional method where the chest is opened and the defect is repaired using sutures or a patch. Commonly used for large or complex VSDs.
Device Closure (Catheter-Based VSD Closure)	Minimally invasive technique using a closure device delivered through blood vessels. No large incision required. Suitable for selected VSD types and sizes.
Minimally Invasive Surgical Closure	Performed through smaller incisions rather than full sternotomy. Reduces surgical trauma and recovery time in eligible patients.
Hybrid VSD Closure	Combines surgical and catheter-based techniques. Often considered for infants or anatomically challenging defects.
