The procedure closes the atrial septal defect (a hole in the wall between the upper heart chambers). Closing the defect averts potential problems such as right heart enlargement, arrhythmias, stroke, or pulmonary hypertension, especially in moderate to large ASDs.

A visit to the cardiologist is recommended if you experience fatigue, breathlessness, heart palpitations, or recurrent respiratory tract infections. Most ASDs are diagnosed by echocardiography, either in childhood or in adulthood, during one of the evaluations for a murmur or a few symptoms.

The patient may have an echocardiogram (commonly TEE) and chest X-ray; an ECG and blood work are recorded. You will be requested to stop certain medications (if applicable) and fast for about 6 to 8 hours before the procedure. Of course, informed consent is obtained, and the method and its risks will be discussed beforehand.

With sedation or general anesthesia, a catheter is introduced into the groin vein and advanced into the heart. The device is then passed through the ASD and opened to cover the hole. Over time, it becomes incorporated into the septum.

The procedure generally lasts between 1 and 2 hours, and patients undergo monitoring for several hours in recovery. Most patients go home the day after.

Arrhythmias
Bleeding at the insertion site
Rare heart wall erosion

This procedure avoids open-heart surgery, permanently closes the defect, relieves symptoms, averts long-term complications, and thus allows faster rehabilitation into everyday life.

Recovery is fast, and most patients return to normal activities within a week. Blood-thinning agents such as aspirin could be prescribed for several months. Follow-up echocardiography is essential to ensure the device functions properly.

When used for appropriate ASDS, success rates are more than 95%. They provide long-term results as good as surgical closure but with less risk, faster recovery, and fewer complications.
