Ventricular septal defect (VSD) - repair, causes, symptoms & pathology

My son is 41 years old and had a VSD repair when he was just one year and ten months old. This was permormed by Prof. Philip Caves in Glasgow's Children's Hospital in Yorkhill. It turns out, according to Dr Caves, that my son had multiple holes that therefore required a larger dacron patch ( he explained to me that the dacron used was first used on spacecraft, therefore space science helped medical science). My son is now a Commercial Airline Pilot who requires to complete an A1 medical every year. I am saying this to let others know that VSD is not the end of the world. It is a defect that is easily fixed, not a disease of the heart (many of which are also relatively easily fixed.) I hope this posting is a comfort to some who may be anxious about the procedure and outcome.

This is very good. The only thing I would add is that, yes, most VSDs are congenital- but an MI can also cause rupture of the interventricular septum.

Another important factor in Eisenmenger's syndrome is the passage of venous circulation blood clots (microemboli) from venous circulation, where they are very common, to the systemic circulation where they can cause TIA, stroke and other systemic embolic events.

Very well explained. This would have took me a lot more time If I read on my own. But you explained it so clear and in a very little time. Thank you soo much
