How Transcatheter Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) Closure / Surgical Patch Repair is performed
If the anatomical conditions are suitable, percutaneous occluder implantation can be selected. Usually under anesthesia and image guidance, a catheter is inserted through the femoral vein, crossing the defect to deliver the occluder, and the two umbrella discs are expanded sequentially; after evaluating the position by ultrasound and pressure, the device is released and the sheath is removed. Postoperative monitoring includes heart rhythm, puncture site, and hemodynamics. The above is general health information, not medical advice; the specific plan should be based on specialist evaluation and hospital protocol.
