An Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) is a hole in the wall (septum) that separates the upper chambers of the heart (atria). If left untreated, it can lead to complications such as heart enlargement, arrhythmias, pulmonary hypertension, or even heart failure. The
ASD Device Closure procedure is a minimally invasive, catheter-based treatment used to seal the defect and restore normal heart function.
At TX Hospitals in Hyderabad, we offer advanced ASD Device Closure procedures performed by expert interventional cardiologists using cutting-edge technology. This procedure is typically recommended for moderate to large-sized ASDs or for patients showing signs of right heart overload.
What is ASD Device Closure?
ASD Device Closure is a non-surgical procedure performed in a catheterization lab. A thin, flexible tube (catheter) is inserted through a vein (usually in the groin) and guided to the heart. Through this catheter, a specially designed closure device is placed across the ASD to seal the opening. Over time, heart tissue grows over the device, permanently closing the defect.
Benefits of ASD Device Closure:
-
Minimally invasive: No need for open-heart surgery.
-
Quick recovery: Most patients are discharged within a day or two.
-
High success rate: More than 95% success in suitable candidates.
-
Low complication risk: Safer than traditional surgical repair.
Who Needs the Procedure?
Not all ASDs require closure. However, device closure is advised for:
-
Moderate to large ASDs with right heart volume overload.
-
Patients with symptoms like shortness of breath, fatigue, or irregular heartbeat.
-
People at risk of stroke or developing pulmonary hypertension.
