Brief Answer:
yes if indicated
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Yes if the assessment by the pediatric cardiologist says so.
If the hole is very big and causes heart failure surgery has to be done early.
Or if there is complex cardiac defects early surgery will be indicated.
There is no hard and fast rule !
It s decided by the clinical condition and echo findings.
