VSD Closure

Advanced Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) Closure Package – Complete Pediatric & Adult Heart Repair

Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) is the most common congenital heart defect, characterized by an abnormal opening in the wall (septum) separating the lower chambers of the heart. This hole causes oxygen-rich blood to mix with oxygen-poor blood, increasing workload on the heart and lungs. Timely closure restores normal circulation and prevents long-term complications like pulmonary hypertension or heart failure.
