N2  - Background and purpose: congenital ventricular septal defects are among the  most frequently reported congenital heart defects. The aim of this study was to  investigate the effect of low level LASER irradiation on induced ventricular septal defects. Subjects and Methodology: twenty male rabbits who underwent  induction for ventricular septal defects by cardiac puncture technique with age  ranged 6-10 months enrolled in this study for one and half months. They were  assigned into two groups: Group (A): The study group consisted of 10 rabbits  who received routine animal care associated with LASER irradiation. Group (B): The control group consisted of 10 rabbits who received only routine  animal care. Size of the septal defects were measured for both groups at the  beginning and after the end of the study. Results: There was significant  decrease of size of the diameter of the induced ventricular septal defect with  study group (percentage of improvement was 22.17%) when compared with control group. Conclusion: It was concluded that low level LASER therapy can  be considered as a promising therapy for congenital heart defects in animals and  to be examined on children with similar congenital lesions after then
