How ASD Transcatheter Closure is performed
A suitable occluder can be selected according to the size and edge conditions of the defect. A sheath is usually placed through the femoral vein, and the defect is crossed under fluoroscopy and ultrasound guidance. The device is usually positioned with a guide wire and delivery system, and the device is released after trial placement to assess stability and shunt status, and the core cavity pressure and images are reviewed. Postoperative early monitoring of heart rhythm, pericardium, and puncture site aims to close abnormal shunts and maintain stable circulation. The above is general health information, not medical advice; the specific situation is subject to specialist evaluation and hospital plan.
