What is Atrial Septal Defect Closure?

A hole in the septum, the muscle wall that separates the heart's two upper chambers, is known as an atrial septal defect (ASD) (atria). An ASD is a congenital defect that occurs when the septum does not form properly and is present at birth. It's referred to as a "hole in the heart."

Atrial septal abnormalities are the third most common congenital cardiac abnormality in children, and the most prevalent in adults. Women are more likely than men to get the illness.

A secundum ASD is a hole in the septum's center. 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 exhibit 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 patients learn about the defect. After minor exertion or exercise, an ASD might induce symptoms such as shortness of breath, fainting, abnormal heart rhythms, or exhaustion by the age of 50.

When is Atrial Septal Defect Closure required?

Treatment isn't usually required for a septal defect. If the hole is small and isn't producing any major symptoms or affecting the child's quality of life, it can simply be watched over time. As a child grows, septal abnormalities may close on their own.

Surgery may be recommended if a hole does not close on its own within the first two years of a child's life or if the hole is greater than 8-10mm. Damage to the lungs can be long-term if huge holes aren't closed.

Transcatheter correction and open-heart surgery are the two most used techniques for septal defects.

How is Atrial Septal Defect Closure done?

For adults and children, surgery involves sewing closed or patching the abnormal opening between the atria.

Step 1

While the heart is momentarily halted, the surgeon makes an incision in the breastbone to reach the heart, and the patient is placed on a cardiopulmonary bypass machine, which pumps blood to the body while bypassing the heart and lungs except for the coronary arteries. To access the defect, an incision is created in the right atrium of the heart.

Step 2

The patch is then stitched onto the hole in the septum, either using the patient's own pericardial tissue or a synthetic graft.

Step 3

Sutures are used to close the heart, and the cardiopulmonary bypass machine is turned off. Temporary pacing wires are placed on the heart to prevent irregular cardiac rhythms after the operation. After the surgery, chest tubes are implanted to collect any remaining blood or fluid in the chest, and the skin is healed with stitches or staples.

What is the Recovery after Atrial Septal Defect 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 Atrial Septal Defect Closure?

The outlook after ASD surgery is excellent. Most children only need one surgery to correct a septal defect. The patch can stay in place for the rest of the child's life.

The benefits of septal defect repair become apparent almost soon after surgery. If the newborns are having feeding difficulties, they will feed significantly better after surgery. They are more prone to gaining weight. If a child's activity level was low prior to surgery, it is frequently significantly higher thereafter.

Patient Testimonials

  • 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.
    Will recommend IndiCure to everyone!

Frequently Asked Questions

Several patients have been known to live for 80 years or longer with massive unrepaired flaws without experiencing serious handicap. However, it is anticipated that atrial septal defect affects life expectancy in the majority of cases, with the average age at death not exceeding 50 years.

Source - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1921234/

Most congenital heart problems are caused by a mix of genetics and conditions involving the mother during pregnancy, such as alcohol and drug use, as well as disorders including diabetes, lupus, and rubella. Specific genetic abnormalities are responsible for about 10% of congenital heart defects.

Small holes in the atrial septum may close on their own. Larger atrial septum abnormalities, as well as those that cause symptoms, can be repaired. The majority of children who have had their atrial septal defect repaired go on to live healthy lives.

Even if a child does not exhibit symptoms, healthcare providers frequently propose a repair for children with a big ASD. It can protect the lungs from long-term, irreversible damage. The procedure is most frequently performed on youngsters. However, if an adult's ASD was not diagnosed during childhood, this sort of correction may be required.

Both Atrial Septal Defect and Patent Foramen Ovale are congenital disorders affecting the septal tissue that connects the heart's left and right atria. ASD is a congenital heart defect caused by the failure of septal tissue to grow between the atria, whereas PFO occurs after birth when the Foramen Ovale, a flap-like valve, fails to close. Because an ASD hole is larger than a PFO, it is more likely to cause symptoms.

A percutaneous closure device is a customized device that is used to correct atrial septal defect and patent foramen ovale in patients (PFO). This device is affixed at the end of a catheter that is put through a vein in the leg and released at the defect site to close the hole during a catheterization procedure.

I recently traveled to Mumbai for a lower body lift and breast lift. As an American nurse living in Saudi Arabia I was apprehensive at first and did months of research. I chose IndiCure because of Dr. Jagannathan. I traveled alone and spent almost 3 weeks there undergoing 2 separate procedures. I was pleasantly surprised. The surgeries both went flawless. All of the hospital staff was amazing. Read Michelle Williams's Review About IndiCure Here
