Types of VSDs

There are several names for the type of hole one may have:

  1. Conoventricular VSD: A hole where portions of the ventricular septum should meet just below the pulmonary and aortic valves
  2. Perimembranous VSD: A hole in the upper section of the ventricular septum
  3. Inlet VSD: A hole in the septum near to where the blood enters the ventricles through the tricuspid and mitral valves
  4. Muscular VSD: A hole in the lower, muscular part of the ventricular septum and is the most common type of VSD
