Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I've been feeling uncomfortable with my heart. Although I often take medication to control it, the effect is not obvious. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they also prescribed medication. Please ask about the minimally invasive surgery for atrial septal defect (ASD), a congenital heart disease.Doctor's answer:
Atrial septal defect is relatively common in clinical diagnosis, being one of the most common congenital heart diseases. It has a significant impact on patients' health. If not treated promptly, it can lead to severe complications such as repeated lung infections and heart failure. With the advancement of medical technology, minimally invasive catheter treatment has become the preferred method of treatment. Of course, any surgery carries certain risks, and before the procedure, the doctor will provide a detailed explanation of the potential risks and complications that may occur.
