Cardiac catheterization, a minimally invasive procedure, is used at York Hospital to repair abnormal openings between the atria in the heart. This procedure can eliminate the need for open heart surgery.

  • I was born with ASD. Luckily, It was diagnosed pretty early. I had my surgery when I was a year old, my grandpa still tells me how they did it. I used to be embaressed, but I'm not anymore, becaus eI know it makes me unique.

  • I was born with an ASD and they didn't perform surgery on me until I was 7 years old. This was back when they opened your chest instead of this new efficient way you see in the video. I wouldn't take it back though, Dr. Leonard L. Bailey did a beautiful job, and its a scar I carry proudly.
