What should be done if the fetus has an interatrial septal aneurysm?

Patient's question:

Fetus: 30 weeks, detected "fetal interatrial septal aneurysm" at the base with a size of 10.6mm, foramen ovale size 6.0mm, right atrium-right ventricle side detected a red regurgitant jet, area size 48MM (square)

Doctor's answer:

If the atrial septal aneurysm has a small top gap, it doesn't need to be treated. Even if there is a small gap, there is still a possibility of self-healing in the future, and it has almost no impact on the child's growth and development, so there is no need to worry too much. In this case, it is important to continue monitoring and, if necessary, undergo detailed examinations to determine if surgical treatment is required. It is recommended to consult with a doctor for their advice.
