The supracristal outlet VSD is called subarterieële VSD. When subarterieële VSD, the lack of a portion of the outlet septum to support the aortic valve cusp of the aortic valve causing sagging VSD may be covered. Well this one aortic valve insufficiency arises. This can sometimes be a reason to also sign. Subarterieel a small VSD | The supracristal outlet VSD is called subarterieële VSD.

In a perimembraneus VSD the septal leaflet of the tricuspid valve can close the defect (in part), the result may be implied that a septal aneurysm is present. | In a perimembraneus VSD the septal leaflet of the tricuspid valve can close the defect (in part), the result may be implied that a septal aneurysm is present. | ||

The shunt by the VSD is determined by the size of the VSD , and the pressure differences between the right and left side of the heart . In a large VSD ( aortic valve area ) there will be no obstacle to flow , the pressure in left and right heart will almost be the same . If there is (still ) no resistance pulmonary hypertension occurred the shunt will be great. In adulthood , there will almost always be a resistance pulmonary hypertension they occurred. As a result, there will be virtually no shunt or bidirectional shunt will occur ( Eisenmenger syndrome ) . | The shunt by the VSD is determined by the size of the VSD , and the pressure differences between the right and left side of the heart.
