How is neonatal heart septal defect treated?

Cardiac septal defect in neonates can be divided into atrial septal defect and ventricular septal defect, the causes of which may be related to chromosomal abnormalities, intrauterine infection, heredity, intrauterine hypoxia and other factors. According to the causes, general treatment, drug treatment and surgical treatment may be adopted

. Second, intrauterine infection, exposure to radiation during pregnancy and other factors can also lead to fetal development abnormalities, resulting in atrial septal defects.

Some atrial septal defects in childhood can close on their own, do not need special treatment. If the child is still not closed after 3 years old, atrial septal defect occlusion can be treated, and metoprolol, propranolol or warfarin can be used to reduce postoperative arrhythmia, thrombotic diseases and other complications.

2. Ventricular septal

defect The occurrence of ventricular septal defect is related to many factors such as heredity, early intrauterine virus infection, intrauterine hypoxia, etc. Small

ventricular septal defects that are not hemodynamically significant on examination may be treated without surgery and with periodic reexamination, while severe ventricular septal defects may be treated with ventricular septal occlusion.
