Hi,
Sorry about your baby's heart defects.
The interatral septal defect may not close by itself.
The VSD has some chances of closure( though muscular vsd closes better than membranous vsd.)
We have to watch for complications like pulmonary hypertension.pl keep on veryregular follow up as advised. Good luck
