Introduction

Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) is a congenital heart condition where a hole in the wall (septum) between the two upper chambers of the heart allows abnormal blood flow. If left untreated, ASD can lead to heart enlargement, arrhythmias, pulmonary hypertension, and other complications. ASD Closure is a minimally invasive or surgical procedure that effectively repairs the defect and restores normal heart function.

What Is ASD Closure?

ASD Closure involves sealing the hole in the atrial septum to prevent abnormal blood flow. There are two main methods:

• Device Closure (Catheter-Based): A small device is inserted through a vein to close the hole without open-heart surgery.
• Surgical Closure: Recommended for large defects or when catheter-based closure is not possible.

When Is ASD Closure Recommended?

• Persistent symptoms (shortness of breath, fatigue, frequent respiratory infections)
• Right heart enlargement
• Risk of complications like stroke or arrhythmia

Procedure Duration & Recovery:

• Device Closure: 1–2 hours; recovery within a few days
• Surgical Closure: 3–4 hours; recovery within 2–3 weeks
