Inside VSD Repair Surgery: How a Heart Defect Is Fixed

Ventricular septal defect (VSD) repair is a heart surgery that closes a hole between the heart’s lower chambers so it can pump more efficiently. Performed most often in childhood, the procedure involves opening the chest, temporarily using a heart-lung machine to keep blood flowing, and closing the defect with stitches or a patch—depending on its size. After the heart is restarted, the chest is closed and the child is monitored as they recover.
