What should I do if I have postoperative complications after a repair surgery?

Patient's question:

I have undergone a surgical repair for a patent foramen ovale. Since the surgery, I have been experiencing postoperative complications. What should I do? People say that the aftereffects are incurable, right? But ever since the surgery, I haven't been feeling well.

Doctor's answer:

According to the situation you described, if there are any aftereffects, you can go to the hospital for a thorough check-up using echocardiography to assess the specific condition. If it is relatively severe, a second surgery may be required for treatment. During daily life, it is essential to avoid overly strenuous exercise. Maintain a regular schedule and follow a light diet as the foundation. Treatment can also be carried out using anticoagulant medications.
