Is atrial septal defect a major surgery?

Patient's question:

The baby has had poor sleep quality since birth, but there are no other bad symptoms. However, when they cry, their voice is quite loud. Is a a major surgery?

Doctor's answer:

Room defect surgery has two types: conventional surgery and surgery. Atrial septal defect surgery is considered the simplest introductory surgery in cardiac surgery, but it is still a heart surgery and carries certain potential risks. Conventional surgery requires establishing extracorporeal circulation, which necessitates the heart to stop beating. This can lead to systemic inflammatory reactions associated with extracorporeal circulation, produce a certain number of microemboli, and result in ischemia-reperfusion injury. It is recommended that you seek treatment at a regular hospital for this condition.
