Is it possible to use interventional treatment for atrial septal defect 31mm?

How old is the patient? The 31mm defect is relatively large, and the intervention** has strict requirements for the area and location of the defect, and the intervention of the membrane or muscle defect is more likely.

Hello, does this depend on the age of the patient? Where is the room missing? If the condition and physical condition allow, there is a possibility of intervention to block **.

I've written down your serial number, and I'll make it for you.

The ventricular septal defect is not very large, only 4 mm in diameter, and should not cause serious damage to the child. The atrial septal defect has a total of 9 mm in two places, which should also have little effect on the child, and the gasping for breath in the last two days may be a respiratory infection. If there are no frequent respiratory infections, your child can have a repeat echocardiogram in six months to see if the defect is tending to be smaller.

Of course, surgery can be performed now, and the closure operation is generally done after 3 pairs, and the surgery can also be done with a small incision under the armpit. The total cost of surgery (including hospitalization) is about 30,000 yuan.

Hello, a 37-year-old atrial septal defect of 4mm should not need to search for anything**. Surgery is recommended if:**

Recessive shunts are confirmed by TTE or TEE with right-to-left shunts or on venous sonography showing the action of the contrast agent Valsalva.

Concomitant cerebral embolism of unknown origin.

Concomitant unexplained TIA or intracranial ischemic lesions.

Concomitant unexplained extracranial thromboembolism.

Patients with cerebral infarction caused by venous thrombosis.

In developed countries, interventional closure is limited to muscular ventricular septal defects and patent ductus arteriosus. In the past, developed countries also intervened to seal atrial septal defects, but due to many problems, this method was eliminated.

I hope the above reply is helpful to you and I wish you good health.

Do you have any reflections now? Are you the ultrasound report?

1.Do I need immediate surgery? Or is it better to wait for a bigger surgery? If I don't need surgery, do I need regular check-ups?

Atrial septal defect is a relatively mild congenital heart disease, and the defect is not very large, and it does not require immediate surgery, so it can be observed.

2.How is the surgery?

The traditional surgical method is thoracotomy repair, and interventional closure can also be considered at present, but it is usually over 3 years old, and there is minimally invasive closure, which is less traumatic and does not require much age.

3.Is it due to the defect that the right heart system is enlarged and the pulmonary artery trunk and its branches are widened? Does it mean that this atrial circumferential septal defect is more serious?

This is a pathological change of atrial deficiency, but it is not too serious.

4.Do I need further tests? What tests are done? Thank you for your great help!

You can go to a specialized hospital for a follow-up echocardiogram because a child's echocardiogram requires some experience.
