Treatment for ASD depends on the size, location, and associated symptoms. Options include:
Monitoring: Small ASDs that do not cause symptoms may be monitored over time without immediate intervention. Medication: Medications may be prescribed to manage symptoms such as heart failure or arrhythmias. Catheter-Based Procedures: Minimally invasive techniques like transcatheter closure can be used to close the defect. Surgical Repair: In cases where catheter-based methods are not suitable, open-heart surgery may be necessary to close the defect.
