Case History: Baby Khushi Dutonde. A 3 years old female is diagnosed with large restrictive perimembranous VSD with subaortic extension. Large defects are less likely to close spontaneously, may result in congestive heart failure, and more often require surgical closure. The term restrictive describes small defects that allow little or no blood to flow from the left side of the heart to the right side of the heart. Surgical repair of a ventricular septal defect involves open heart surgery and placement of a prosthetic patch, sutured in place that covers the defect. The patient is operated on at Balaji Heart Hospital and Diagnostic Centre – Byculla Mumbai.
