How Surgical Repair is performed
Surgical repair can be considered when the anatomy is complex, percutaneous approach is not suitable, or related malformations need to be treated at the same time. The common practice is to expose the defect by cutting open the atrium under the support of cardiopulmonary bypass and myocardial protection. According to the size, choose direct suture or patch repair, and evaluate the related valves and venous return, and treat them together if necessary. After the operation, withdraw from cardiopulmonary bypass, place drainage and monitor heart rhythm, bleeding and pulmonary circulation, with the goal of restoring stable hemodynamics. The above is general health information, not medical advice; the specific plan is subject to specialist evaluation and hospital plan.
