Now I will let you know the standard guidelines,
If VsD with aortic valve prolapse with even slightest aortic regurgitation, surgery at the time of detection is recommended
If there is VsD with prolapse with no regurgitation, surgery at 2-3 years irrespective of the hemodynamic s is suggested
If VsD with no prolapse, 2-3 year follow up
The above are recommendations for small, 3mm VsD. Regards
