A balloon atrial septostomy is a medical procedure that creates or expands an opening between the upper chambers of the heart (atria). During the procedure, a special catheter with a deflated balloon is inserted into the heart through a vein in the groin. Once in place, the balloon is inflated to widen the hole, allowing for better blood flow between the atria.
A balloon atrial septostomy is suggested for infants who are not receiving enough oxygenated blood. Conditions like certain congenital heart defects in which the major arteries leaving the heart are misformed, resulting in insufficient blood oxygenation, are corrected by this procedure.
After a balloon atrial septostomy, patients are closely monitored in the hospital for a short period of time. The recovery process usually involves rest and observation to ensure there are no complications. The medical team creates personalized post-procedure care plans and suggests a follow-up plan for the patient's continued recovery and well-being. Overall, the recovery can take anywhere from 3 to 4 weeks.
