Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi,

The condition you mentioned is an abnormal communication between two sides of the heart. Its not an emergency, but needs surgical correction to avoid complications (which usually appears in adult life if left uncorrected. No need to worry much, as now-a-days many of these cases can be corrected through endoscopic (devise passing through veins) procedures without open surgery, depending on findings on ECHO.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam TK, Pediatrician
