ASD Repair is a surgical procedure used to repair a hole in the atrial septum, the wall that separates the upper chambers of the heart. The defect is closed with sutures or a patch during the procedure. It can be done with open-heart surgery or with minimally invasive techniques like cardiac catheterization.
Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) Repair is primarily used to treat atrial septal defects, which are congenital heart conditions characterized by abnormal openings between the atria. These defects can lead to the mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood, potentially causing strain on the heart and lungs. The procedure helps restore proper blood flow and relieves related symptoms by fixing the defect.
After Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) Repair, the recovery period varies based on the surgical technique used and the patient in question. Patients should typically anticipate spending a few days in the hospital following the procedure. Medication may be prescribed to manage pain and prevent infection. Physical activity and strenuous exercise should be limited for several weeks, and follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor healing and overall cardiac health. With proper care and adherence to the recommended recovery guidelines, most patients can resume normal activities within a few months.
