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.
I have ASD diagnosed during my pregnancy when Im 23, but until now its not yet repaired Im 31 now..My doctor telling me to repair via catherization device because its moderate size...but Im afraid what the possible reactions after the closure because I dont have any symptoms just occational palpitations..please tell me if there is any complications at post cath..thanks
can an ASD happen again ? ....i mean i had my ASD " or my VSD "repaired "not sure which one i had" , is there a possibility that the hole can open again ?
