Atrial Septal Defect Treatment in India

The normal human heart is responsible for efficiently receiving and pumping blood. Proper blood flow is vital to health because the body’s tissues rely on the blood to carry nourishment (oxygen, glucose) and remove waste products (carbon dioxide).  Let us see how this is affected by ASDs

What is Atrial Septal Defect Treatment?

Atrial septal defect (ASD) is an abnormal hole in the wall between the two upper chambers of the heart, called the right and left atria. When this hole occurs, too much blood flows from the left atrium to the right atrium and through the right side of the heart.

This excess blood flows through the right ventricle, pulmonary artery, and into the lungs making the heart work harder. The extra blood flowing to the lungs creates a noise called a murmur.

Small holes may close on their own by the time a child is 2 years old. In some people, the defect doesn’t cause symptoms until middle age.

Is atrial septal defect treatment, open heart?

Surgical repair

Surgery may be needed to repair large Secundum ASDs and other types of ASDs. In some cases, this can be done robotically or with a small incision.

A surgical repair usually involves using a tissue patch to close the ASD. The tissue often comes from your own pericardium (membrane around the heart). Some Secundum ASDs can be surgically closed with sutures alone.
