Not always. Many atrial septal defects and certain ventricular septal defects can be closed using a catheter-based device without open-heart surgery. A detailed evaluation determines whether your child is a suitable candidate.
When performed in specialised centres with experienced teams, these procedures have high success rates and low complication rates. Careful patient selection and post-procedure monitoring are essential for safety.
Yes. Even after a successful procedure, periodic follow-up with echocardiography and clinical assessment is important to ensure normal heart growth and function.
Symptoms such as severe breathlessness, bluish discolouration of lips, poor feeding in infants, fainting episodes, or sudden rhythm changes require immediate medical evaluation.
A catheter-based procedure may be recommended when a child has a congenital heart defect that can be safely treated without open-heart surgery. Conditions such as atrial septal defects (ASD), ventricular septal defects (VSD) in selected cases, patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), certain valve narrowings, or abnormal blood vessel connections may be suitable for minimally invasive catheter-based treatment.
