The Heart Center at Bangpakok 9 International Hospital is among the top facilities in Thailand. The hospital has a team of experienced surgeons who use the latest techniques to perform atrial septal defect closure. The hospital offers thorough pre-operative, post-operative, and rehabilitation services to guarantee the patient receives the best results. Patients in the cardiac department of the hospital have access to a variety of diagnostic tests, including the electrocardiogram (ECG), chest X-ray, blood tests, dopplers, cardiac tomography, and cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR).

Surgeons first determine the size of the hole in the atria before finalizing a treatment approach. Medications are prescribed to control the heartbeat and reduce the risk of blood clot formation. However, medications cannot correct this condition. Surgery is performed to correct the atrial septal defect. The doctors may suggest minimally invasive treatment approaches or open heart surgery. During the procedure, medium- to large-sized atrial septal defects are treated by patching the heart wall. The hospital also has a cath lab for catheter-based repairs. Heart muscles begin to grow to close the hole once the defect is fully repaired. Dr. Aramwong Thaveelap and Dr. Supreecha Tanamai are cardiac specialists at the hospital.
