Patient's question:
My partner had undergone corrective surgery for congenital atrial septal defect in their childhood. So far, they have not experienced any complications. Now, we are considering having children. Could you please advise if this condition will have any impact on future childbirth or overall health? Will it recur? Are there any potential long-term effects?Doctor's answer:
It may not leave any aftereffects. Complications may occur multiple times if the best surgical timing is not well-controlled. Early surgery may not be a major operation. It is also easy to repair. It may be a minimally invasive procedure. Using a small umbrella to block the scar is sufficient. This type of surgery should be done early. Don't wait until complications occur multiple times before considering it, as it will be too late. Specific instructions should be followed according to professional doctors. Don't be overly suspicious. You should fully trust your doctors.
