Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
My sister is six months pregnant. She did 3D sonography, and the doctor told her the baby has a hole in the heart. Can the baby's hole recover independently, or is surgery required?
Kindly help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Thank you for your query.
I understand your concern. If the baby has only one heart hole, it is better to see if it can be corrected. If it is life-threatening, we can also do it after birth. Kindly do not go for fetal surgery, as it is complicated.
I hope this has helped you. Thank you.
