A member asked:
My baby has a small hole in his heart, what does that mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on location: Many infants born with a small hole in the lower chamber will have spontaneous closure of the hole by 1yo. (>50%).If not the small hole can be closed through a catheter during a heart cath when the kid is older.
