My 1.5-month-old son was diagnosed with 1108mm c shunting ltrt. Can this resolve on its own or does he need surgery? How long can we wait before deciding? He's breathing a bit fast and has had a cold since 23 weeks. I've attached his report what do you suggest?

In your 1.5-month-old son‚Äôs case, C-shunting may resolve on its own, but surgery is often required for significant cases. Consult with a pediatric cardiologist for a more accurate assessment.

Question

My 1-month-old baby boy was diagnosed with a malaligned PM VSD hole measuring 3.5 mm. Is this considered large in medical terms? I'm trying to understand how VSD sizes are classified like small, moderate, large, or very large based on the mm measurement. Also, will my son definitely need open heart surgery, or is there a chance it could close on its own over time? If surgery is necessary, are there any less invasive options than open heart surgery?

Question

My daughter is 40 days old and was diagnosed with a single large VSD leading to a single ventricle, severe PAH, and normally related great arteries. The pulmonary artery is dilated from the right side of the ventricle and unrestricted, with mild AR and moderate left AVVR plus mild right AVVR. The doctor said it's very complex and critical, recommending multistage palliation. Are there any alternative surgeries instead of multiple operations? It's so overwhelming to think about her going through so many procedures.
