ASD / VSD Closure in India
ASD and VSD are holes in the walls between the heart's chambers. Closure, often done with a device through a catheter, stops abnormal blood flow and protects the heart and lungs.
Typical hospital stay: 2 to 7 days
Time to plan in India: 1 to 3 weeks
Who needs it?
Children and adults with a significant ASD or VSD
Breathlessness, poor growth in children or enlarged heart chambers
Holes not expected to close naturally
How it's done
Catheter-based device closure under sedation or general anaesthesia, when suitable
A folded closure device is guided to the hole and opened to seal it
Larger or complex defects may need open-heart surgery
Recovery timeline
Device closure: home within 1 to 3 days, normal activity within a week
Surgical closure: about a week in hospital, 4 to 6 weeks to full recovery
