A member asked:
Can having a ventricular septal defect correction operation (patch applied) in 1989, cause demyelination in my brain after? if so, how does it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Separate problems: If you had successful vsd surgery and no problems afterwards, then this is unrelated. Brain injury can occur during surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass but typically these effects present differently than you describe and are not typical after vsd surgery.
