Hello dear, welcome to healthcare magic forum.
The actual management needed is dependent on many factors like the type of defect (whether ASD/VSD/PFO etc),its size, and the clinical status of the child.
While most of such cases closes spontaneously with time, some large or symptomatic cases will need surgical closure. Your doctor will discuss these issues in detail with you.
Hope this answer will be helpful. Thank you.
