Heart Hole Treatment in Hyderabad
At Onus Heart Institute, we specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of Heart Hole, or Atrial Septal Defect (ASD), providing comprehensive care designed to enhance heart health and improve quality of life. Our advanced medical facility, combined with a team of seasoned cardiologists, ensures that each patient receives personalized and effective treatment.
What is Heart Hole (Atrial Septal Defect)?
A Heart Hole, medically known as Atrial Septal Defect (ASD), is a congenital condition characterized by an opening in the septum that divides the two upper chambers (atria) of the heart. This defect allows oxygen-rich blood to flow from the left atrium back into the right atrium, instead of moving on to the rest of the body. Over time, this can cause problems such as right heart enlargement, pulmonary hypertension, and heart failure if left untreated.
Conditions Treated
Heart Hole or ASD can cause several health issues, including:
- Heart Enlargement: The extra blood flow from the hole can enlarge the heart and affect its ability to pump effectively.
- Pulmonary Hypertension: Increased blood flow to the lungs can raise blood pressure in the pulmonary arteries.
- Heart Failure: Over time, the strain on the heart can lead to heart failure if the defect is not addressed.
- Increased Risk of Stroke: Blood clots can pass through the ASD and travel to the brain, increasing the risk of stroke.
Treatment Offered
At Onus Heart Institute, we offer a range of treatments for Atrial Septal Defect tailored to your specific needs:
- Medications: For some patients, medication may be prescribed to manage symptoms or prevent complications. While medications cannot close the ASD, they can help manage related issues like heart failure or pulmonary hypertension.
- Catheter-Based Closure: This minimally invasive procedure involves using a catheter to place a closure device in the heart through a small incision in the groin. The device is designed to seal the ASD and restore normal blood flow. This approach typically results in a shorter recovery time and less discomfort compared to traditional surgery.
- Surgical Closure: For certain cases, particularly those involving larger defects or when catheter-based closure is not feasible, open-heart surgery may be recommended. During this procedure, a surgeon will repair the ASD using sutures or a patch to close the hole. Our skilled cardiothoracic surgeons use advanced techniques to ensure the best possible outcomes.
Indications
Device closure is primarily used to treat the following conditions:
- Atrial Septal Defect (ASD): An opening in the wall (septum) between the left and right atria of the heart.
- Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD): An opening in the wall (septum) between the left and right ventricles of the heart.
- Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA): A persistent connection between the aorta and the pulmonary artery that normally closes after birth.
- Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO): A hole between the left and right atria that remains open after birth, which can sometimes contribute to stroke or other complications.
