Atrial Septal Defect

ASD Closure

closure device for haemodynamically significant septal defects

An Atrial Septal Defect is an opening in the wall that separates the top chambers of the heart. This can be repaired with a small device that closes the communication between the left and right atrium. It is a minimally invasive procedure. The heart is accessed via the vessels in the leg and patients are usually admitted to hospital for 1 night.
