What is ASD Device Closure?
Atrial septal defect (ASD) transcatheter repair, also known as ASD device closure, is a procedure to fix a hole in the atrial septum. The atrial septum is a wall that separates the right and left upper chambers in the heart (atria). This hole is called an atrial septal defect or ASD.
When the septum does not form properly, you are born with an ASD (congenital defect). A “hole in the heart” is what it is commonly known as.
Atrial septal defects are the third most frequent type of congenital heart abnormality, and the most common among adults.
A secundum ASD is a hole in the septum’s centre. Blood can flow from one side of the atria to the other through the hole. The direction is determined by the amount of pressure in the atria.
Because they do not show symptoms, many people are unaware that they have an ASD. When a chest X-ray for another illness reveals that the right side of the heart is larger than normal, some people learn about the defect.
Closure Device
A unique closure device is used to conduct percutaneous closure of PFO and ASD. The device is folded or attached to a special catheter, which is comparable to the catheter used during your catheterization procedure. The catheter is moved into the heart and through the defect after being put into a vein in the leg. The device is progressively pushed out of the catheter, allowing each side to expand up and cover each side of the opening (much like a sandwich), effectively closing the hole or defect. The device is removed from the particular catheter once it is in the appropriate place. Heart tissue grows over the implant over time, becoming a part of the heart. The procedure is monitored by X-ray and an ultrasound camera inserted in the heart from a vein in the top of the leg.
When is ASD Device Closure required?
When a child is between the ages of four and six, ASD Closure is advised if a moderate to large defect is there. When a problem is discovered in a young adult, the advantages of closure are significant.
Patients who don’t qualify for catheter-based closure devices may need surgery to close their septal defect. There are minimally invasive and robotically assisted methods available. Congenital heart cardiologists, interventionalists, and surgeons collaborate to ensure that each patient receives the best treatment for their condition.
How is ASD Device Closure done?
Step 1
The procedure is done in a Cath lab. The surgeon will insert a small, flexible tube (catheter) into an artery in the groin. This tube will have a small device inside it.
Step 2
The surgeon will thread the tube through the blood vessel all the way to the atrial septum. X-ray images and echocardiograms may be used to see exactly where the tube is.
Step 3
The surgeon will push the small device out of the tube and place it across the hole in the atrial septum. Then the device will be secured in place. The tube will be removed through the blood vessel. The healthcare provider will close and bandage the site where the tube was inserted.
What is the Recovery after ASD Device Closure like?
After surgery, patients are taken to the intensive care unit and monitored. Pain is likely, and pain medication is given as appropriate. Patients also are on a respirator and have a breathing tube for the first few hours after surgery.
The length of the hospital stay depends on how quickly a patient recovers and can perform some physical activity.
What Results Can I Expect from ASD Device Closure?
The outlook after ASD surgery is excellent. Once an ASD has been closed, it’s unlikely that more surgery will be needed.

My dad was advised cardiac bypass surgery in CA, USA, but because of being uninsured, such high costs of cardiac surgery in the US, we were really not able to afford it. IndiCure has actually helped in saving my dad’s life and we are really grateful for the same.
I am falling short of words, to express my gratitude to the surgeon who was very helpful and courteous.

Procedure : ASD Surgery
Frequently Asked Questions
Transcatheter device closure of secundum ASD is a maturing technology that has been around for more than a decade. This technique has gained popularity as a non-surgical alternative to surgery, and it is generally considered to be safe and successful.
Even if the child has no symptoms, healthcare providers frequently prescribe a repair for youngsters with a big ASD. It has the potential to protect the lungs against long-term, irreversible harm. The procedure is most commonly performed on youngsters. However, if an adult’s ASD was not discovered during childhood, they may also require the treatment.
Larger ASDs (8 to 10 mm) frequently do not close and may require surgery. The size of the defect, the amount of additional blood flowing through the opening, the size of the right side of the heart, and whether or not the person has any symptoms are all important criteria.
Atrial septal abnormalities can cause life-threatening consequences such as chest pain, irregular heartbeats (arrhythmias), abnormal heart enlargement, “fluttering” of the heart (atrial fibrillation), and/or heart failure in severe cases.
Patients younger than 25 years had a normal life expectancy after ASD closure, according to experts.
