Question

My 98-day-old baby girl had a 3.2mm PDA heart hole and got treated without open surgery. Will this cause any health issues for her in the future?

Primary surgical closure of PDA exceeding 2.0 mm in infants weighing less than 1,500 g should be considered to reduce mortality and long-term morbidity events including BPD.

Question

I'm really worried about my baby boy who has been diagnosed with a PM VSD hole that's 3.5 mm. Is this considered a big issue or not? I'm trying to understand how these measurements are categorizedis 3.5 mm small, moderate, large, or very large? Also, does this mean he'll need open heart surgery for sure, or could it close on its own as he grows? If surgery ends up being necessary, are there options other than open heart surgery that are less invasive? Would love some guidance on this.
