As a subject matter expert in pediatric cardiology, I can tell you that the most common type of congenital heart disease is Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD). VSD is a hole in the wall separating the two ventricles of the heart. It is the most prevalent congenital heart defect, affecting approximately 1 in every 100 to 200 live births.

Ventricular septal defect (VSD), atrial septal defects, and tetralogy of Fallot are the most common congenital heart defects seen in the VACTERL association. Less common defects in the association are truncus arteriosus and transposition of the great arteries.
