Closure of Atrial & Ventricular Septal Defects (ASD & VSD)

ASD VSD Closure in Mukundapur Kolkata

Closure of Atrial Septal Defects (ASD) and Ventricular Septal Defects (VSD) is a highly effective procedure used to treat congenital “holes in the heart.” These defects allow abnormal blood flow between heart chambers, increasing strain on the heart. With timely intervention, patients can achieve normal heart function and lead healthy lives.

Manipal Hospitals offers advanced closure of Atrial & Ventricular Septal Defects in Mukundapur, Kolkata, delivering over 95% success rates through expert care and cutting-edge technology.

Why is the closure of ASD & VSD done?

This procedure is recommended to:

  • Treat abnormal openings in the heart that affect blood circulation

  • Prevent complications such as heart enlargement and pulmonary hypertension

  • Reduce symptoms like breathlessness, fatigue, and palpitations

  • Avoid recurrent lung infections (especially in VSD cases)

  • Support normal growth and development in children

  • Improve long-term heart function and quality of life

  • If ASD or VSD is not treated on time, it may lead to serious complications such as heart failure, arrhythmias, increased lung pressure, and reduced life expectancy. Early closure helps prevent these risks and ensures better outcomes.

What happens before ASD & VSD Closure?

Our cardiology and cardiothoracic teams prepare patients through:

  • Comprehensive evaluation including ECG, echocardiography, and imaging tests

  • Assessment of defect size, location, and overall heart function

  • Review of medical history and current medications

  • Pre-procedure counselling for patients and families

  • Instructions regarding fasting and medication adjustments

What happens during ASD & VSD Closure?

Closure of Atrial & Ventricular Septal Defects is performed using either minimally invasive or surgical techniques:

  • Micro techniques like endoscopic & robotic techniques can be performed for similar problems

  • Procedure is done under general anaesthesia or sedation

  • Catheter-based closure involves inserting a device via a blood vessel to seal the defect (for suitable cases)

  • Surgical repair involves closing the defect with sutures or a patch when needed

  • Advanced imaging ensures precise placement and safety

  • Procedure duration varies depending on complexity

What happens after ASD & VSD Closure?

Recovery after ASD or VSD closure is usually smooth and closely monitored to ensure optimal healing. Patients are initially observed in the ICU for careful supervision, after which the hospital stay is generally short, especially in catheter-based procedures. Medications may be prescribed to support recovery and prevent complications, while patients are advised to gradually return to normal activities as guided by their doctor. Regular follow-up visits and echocardiograms play a crucial role in tracking progress, and most patients can resume normal life within a few weeks with significant improvement in symptoms.
