Descriptive, retrospective, clinical case study. The technique used for the collection of the information of the case will be through the review of clinical history and for the description of the pathology will be through the compilation of articles extracted from recognized databases such as: Scopus, PorQuest, Pubmed, web of science, lilacs. Results. Patient of 18 years of age who came through the outpatient area for cardiovascular evaluation, personal history Acianogenic congenital heart disease class interventricular communication treated with surgical closure August 2019 Surgical history Fracture of right forearm, VSD closure without complications. Conclusions. Ventricular septal defect is a cardiac condition that requires medical attention and a multidisciplinary approach to its management. Early identification, accurate diagnosis, and appropriate intervention are critical to improve the prognosis and quality of life of affected patients. General area of study: medicine. Specific area of study: cardiology. Type of study: clinical cases.
