Do you more detailed diagnosis or ECHO report?
If the ASD or VSD are small,usually they are asymptomatic and do not need any surgery.
If holes are big and patient is suffering then patient needs some kind of surgical intervention.Now a days these holes are block minimal invasive surgery with interventional radiology,
