ASD closure is a medical procedure used to repair an atrial septal defect, which is a congenital heart defect characterized by an abnormal opening in the atrial septum, the wall between the heart's two upper chambers (atria).

The diagnosis of an atrial septal defect typically involves a combination of the following diagnostic methods:

Physical examination: The healthcare provider may listen to the heart using a stethoscope to detect abnormal heart sounds or murmurs.

Echocardiogram: This imaging test uses ultrasound waves to create detailed images of the heart's structure and function, allowing the healthcare provider to visualize the atrial septum and identify the&

Treatment name Cost range

Device Closure- ASD VSD Rs.208680 to Rs.278240

ASD closure is typically performed by a cardiac surgeon or an interventional cardiologist with specialized training in congenital heart conditions.

ASD closure can be performed using different techniques, depending on the size and location of the defect. The two primary techniques are:

Surgical closure: In this open-heart surgery, the ASD is repaired using sutures or a patch, usually made of synthetic material or pericardium (the sac surrounding the heart). This procedure requires a sternotomy (opening of the chest) and the use of a heart-lung machine.

Transcatheter closure: This minimally invasive procedure involves the insertion of a catheter through a blood vessel in the groin and guiding it to the heart. A closure device, such as an umbrella-shaped septal occluder, is placed to seal the ASD from inside the heart.
