ASD is the abbreviation of atrial septal defect, which is the most common congenital heart disease in the world. The atrial septum is located between the left atrium and the right atrium. The left atrium runs through arterial blood and the right atrium runs through venous blood. Once there is a defect in the atrial septum, the arterial blood of the left atrium will reach the right atrium through the septum, causing a short circuit between the arteries and veins, and the arterial blood will shunt to the venous blood, which will lead to the right heart failure, right heart failure, and pulmonary hypertension over time. At present, there are two treatment methods for atrial septal defect: first, surgical operation, repair of atrial septal defect under direct vision; 2、 The cardiology department does not open the operation, but conducts minimally invasive interventional occlusion. Both methods have decades of history and have very good results. The specific treatment method should be determined according to the edge of the defect, the size of the defect and the adjacent structure of the valve. Therefore, it is recommended that after re examination of ultrasound, doctors from the Department of Cardiology and the Department of Cardiosurgery should be invited for joint consultation to develop a treatment plan.
