Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
VSD or ventricular septal defect usually requires surgical closure. The exact indication would depend upon the clinical manifestations and the degree of blood flow occurring through the VSD. Periodic echocardiographic follow up would be required for the same. Your pediatric cardiologist would be able to carefully evaluate the situation and guide you further.
