Tbingel — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 18:50:50 GMT

An atrial septal defect (ASD) repair, also called a closure, is a procedure that is done to close the opening in the wall of the atrial septum. It is recommended that atrial septal defects be repaired during childhood. The standard method for closure of ASDs has been open heart surgery. A new nonsurgical closure procedure uses a heart catheterization in which a patch is inserted into the damaged area through a catheter and inflated to repair the damaged area.
