Atrial Septal Defect Surgery in India

An atrial septal defect (ASD) is a hole in the wall between the two upper chambers of the heart (atria) the left & right Atrium. A hole can vary in size and may close on its own or may require surgery. An atrial septal defect is a type of congenital heart defect- which means a person is born with it. As a baby develops during pregnancy, there are normally several openings in the wall dividing the upper chambers of the heart (atria). These usually close during pregnancy or shortly after birth.

  3. Clinical Symptoms of ASD • Fatigue • Shortness of breath, especially when exercising • Swelling of legs, feet or abdomen • Heart palpitations or skipped beats(arrhythmia) • Frequent lung infections • Stroke • Heart murmur, a whooshing sound that can be heard through a stethoscope. These could be indications of heart failure or another complication of an atrialseptal defect.

  4. 4 Types of ASD: • Ostiumprimum: occurs in the lower part of the atrial septum, and may occur with other congenital heart problems. • Ostiumsecundum: occurs in the middle of the wall between the atria (atrial septum). • Sinus venosus: occurs in the upper part of the atrial septum. • Coronary sinus defects: part of the wall between the coronary sinus — which is part of the vein system of the heart — and the left atrium is missing.  Get a free opinion from Expert Doctors in India: Send a Query Visit us : www.deepammeditours.com Call us: +91-9810085065

  5. Treatment • Treatment will depend on the child’s age and the size, location, and severity of the defect.  Treatment options: • Open-Heart Surgery: • This type of surgery is done through an incision in the chest, surgeons use patches to close the hole. This procedure is the preferred treatment for certain types of atrial septal defects (primum, sinus venosus and coronary sinus), and these types of atrial defects can only be repaired through open-heart surgery.

  6. Continue… • Cardiac Catheterization: • Under this procedure a catheter which is a thin flexible tube is guided to the heart through a blood vessel in the groin, using imaging techniques. • A mesh patch or plug is placed to close the hole with the help of the catheter. Once in place, the mesh gets covered by heart tissue around it permanently sealing the hole.

  7. Follow-up • Follow-up care depends on the type of defect and whether other defects are present. • For simple atrial septal defects closed during childhood, only occasional follow-up care is needed. • Adults who've had atrial septal defect repair need to have regular follow-up appointments to check for complications, such as pulmonary hypertension, arrhythmias, heart failure or valve problems.
