What is the correction of a atrial septal defect?
The repair of the defect of the atrial septum is the surgery, the aim of which is to correct the congenital heart defect called the defect of the atrial septum (ASD). Infants with ASD have a defect in the hall septum - a wall that divides and separates the highest chambers of the heart. This wall is usually closed during fetal development. Children with ASD have an opening in the wall that allows oxygenated blood to pass from the left atrium to the right atrium. This disorder limits the amount of oxygen -rich blood that can be supplied from the heart to the rest of the body. Children with a atrial septum can develop either a hole inside a atrial sept, which is always open, or a flap between the two atrial chambers that occasionally open. The valve type usually opens and allows blood to move with septemkers, abnormal chest pressure exerts due to stress during bowel, cough or sneezing.
Children with Asd can experience different symptoms, including fatigue, easy to get tired and bad r during the gameost. In some children with this health condition, some children have been spirit, rapid breathing and frequent infections of the respiratory system. Patients with small or medium atrial defects may not have symptoms until they are middle -aged adults. In some cases, the doctor may notice a heart murmur when he listens to the heart rhythm of the patient ASD.
Infants and small children with large atrial defects, noticeable symptoms of ASD or swollen heart usually require repairing the defect of atrial septum. This repair can be done during a robot -assisted surgery procedure. Operation of repair of defects of septum robot -assisted atrial septum usually has several advantages over traditional ASD surgery, including smaller cuts, shorter hospital stays and faster recovery. The surgeon usually uses a small cut on the chest and works with robotically assisted endoscopic tools to close the opening between the two atrial chambers of the patient.
Some ASD patients undergo a different type of OP procedureRavy defect of the atrial septum septum, where the endoscope is inserted directly into the blood vessel in the area of the weakness and is moved to the heart to close the defect. Patients with milder forms of ASD can receive medicines such as digoxin to strengthen heart muscles or diuretics to improve the control of fluids in the body rather than the repair of atrial defects. Many people with a atrial septum defect take preventive antibiotic drugs before dental intervention to reduce the likelihood of endocarditis infection.
