Treatment
A medical procedure has been developed to close the defect without surgery. The procedure involves placing an ASD closure device into the heart through tubes called catheters. The health care provider makes a tiny surgical cut in the groin, then inserts the catheters into a blood vessel and up into the heart. The closure device is then placed across the ASD and the defect is closed. This procedure may not match to all kinds of defects. If this procedure is not matched to particular defect then there is a requirement of surgery.
