ASD Closure Surgery
Trusted by Patients From 35+ Countries
What is ASD Closure Surgery?
ASD Closure Surgery is a medical procedure used to treat a congenital heart defect called Atrial Septal Defect (ASD). This condition involves a hole in the wall (septum) between the two upper chambers of the heart (atria), allowing oxygen-rich and oxygen-poor blood to mix.
The procedure closes this hole either through minimally invasive catheter-based techniques or open-heart surgery, restoring normal blood flow and reducing strain on the heart.
Why is ASD Closure Surgery Done?
ASD closure is performed to prevent long-term complications and improve heart function. It is recommended when:
- The defect is large or causing symptoms
- There is abnormal blood flow between the atria
- The patient experiences fatigue, shortness of breath, or palpitations
- There is a risk of complications like stroke, heart failure, or pulmonary hypertension
Early treatment helps ensure better quality of life and prevents irreversible heart damage.
Who is an Eligible Candidate for ASD Closure Surgery in India?
Patients who may be eligible include:
- Children or adults diagnosed with moderate to large ASD
- Patients with symptoms like breathlessness or reduced exercise tolerance
- Individuals showing enlargement of the right side of the heart
- Patients with evidence of significant blood shunting (left-to-right)
- Those medically fit for surgery or catheter-based intervention
In India, cardiologists evaluate each case thoroughly to determine the most suitable treatment approach.
Types of ASD Closure Surgery
There are two primary methods for closing an atrial septal defect:
1. Device Closure (Catheter-Based Procedure)
- Minimally invasive, performed via a catheter inserted through a vein
- A special closure device is placed to seal the hole
- Shorter hospital stay and faster recovery
2. Open-Heart Surgical Closure
- Required for large or complex ASDs not suitable for device closure
- The hole is closed using sutures or a patch
- Performed under general anesthesia
Diagnostic Tests Done Before ASD Closure Surgery
Several tests are conducted to confirm diagnosis and plan treatment:
- Echocardiography (2D Echo / Transesophageal Echo)
- Electrocardiogram (ECG)
- Chest X-ray
- Cardiac MRI or CT scan (if required)
- Cardiac catheterization (in select cases)
- Blood tests and overall health evaluation
These investigations help assess the size and impact of the defect.
Why is India Preferred for ASD Closure Surgery?
India is a leading destination for ASD closure due to:
- Experienced cardiologists and cardiac surgeons
- Availability of advanced catheter-based technologies
- High success rates with minimally invasive procedures
