Hi....by what you quote it seems to be a small VSD. But if it had been a muscular VSD I would have reassured you that it will close. But being a peri membranous VSD, we need to follow it up. Even then it has got a fair chance of closing by itself. I suggest you follow up with a pediatric cardiologist once in 6 months with an echo of heart.
