What is ASD?

Atrial Septal Defect is a congenital heart condition where there is a hole in the wall (septum) separating the two upper chambers of the heart. This opening allows oxygen-rich blood to mix with oxygen-poor blood, putting extra strain on the heart and lungs. If left untreated, ASD may lead to complications such as pulmonary hypertension, irregular heart rhythms, or heart failure.​

Traditional vs Minimally Invasive Options

Open-Heart ASD Surgery: Surgeon makes chest incision and closes the hole with stitches or a patch. Used for larger or complex defects. Hospital stay: 5-7 days.​

Catheter-Based Device Closure (Minimally Invasive): Device delivered through a catheter via groin artery without opening the chest. Performed under conscious sedation or light anesthesia. Procedure takes 1-2 hours. Hospital stay: 1-2 days only.​
