About this Procedure
ASD / VSD closure is a procedure to close a hole in the heart's septum, the wall that separates its chambers. An atrial septal defect (ASD) is a hole between the two upper chambers; a ventricular septal defect (VSD) is a hole between the two lower chambers. Both are congenital heart defects, meaning a person is born with them, although some are only found in adulthood.
Small defects may cause no symptoms and may not need treatment. Closure is usually recommended when a large amount of blood is shunting through the hole, the heart is enlarging, or symptoms appear. These can include shortness of breath with activity, palpitations in adults, frequent chest infections in children, and fast breathing or sweating while feeding in babies with a large VSD.
Many ASDs, and certain types of VSD, can be closed without open-heart surgery. In transcatheter closure, a thin tube (catheter) is passed from a blood vessel in the groin up into the heart, and a closure device is placed across the hole to seal it. Defects that are not suitable for a device, or that occur with other heart problems, are repaired with open-heart surgery using a patch, under general anaesthetic. The treating cardiologist or cardiac surgeon decides which approach suits each patient after reviewing the echocardiogram and other tests.
ASD / VSD closure is offered at Medwell's partner hospitals in Delhi NCR, including BLK-Max Super Speciality Hospital in New Delhi, Artemis Hospital and Fortis Memorial Research Institute in Gurugram, and Fortis Hospital, Noida. Medwell helps adults and families of children with congenital heart defects arrange assessment, treatment and travel.
