ASD/VSD Closure Surgery

The heart's septum is a wall that separates its chambers, preventing oxygen-rich blood from the left side from mixing with less oxygenated blood on the right side. A hole in this region can disrupt normal blood flow into or out of the heart. At Universelle Medicaid, we specialize in addressing such conditions with expert care and efficient solutions.

What are VSD and ASD?

  • Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD): A congenital condition where the septal wall between the lower heart chambers fails to close at birth, causing a hole.
  • Atrial Septal Defect (ASD): A congenital condition characterized by a hole between the upper heart chambers, present from birth.

Universelle Medicaid is experienced in managing ASD/VSD closures effectively. Additionally, the cost of ASD/VSD closure surgery is highly affordable.

Symptoms of VSD and ASD

It's essential to understand the symptoms before considering ASD/VSD closure surgery . Symptoms may vary between individuals:
  • 1. Fatigue
  • 2. Breathing Difficulties: Congested or heavy breathing, or shortness of breath during exercise in ASD cases.
  • 3. Swelling: In the abdomen, legs, or feet, commonly associated with ASD.
  • 4. Irregular Heartbeat: Skipped beats, rapid heart rate, or palpitations (ASD-specific).
  • 5. Sweating and Slow Weight Gain: Common in VSD, especially in babies who may also reject feeding.

Since these symptoms often overlap with other heart conditions, consult expert cardiologists at Universelle Medicaid for a precise diagnosis.

Diagnosing VSD/ASD

Most defects are identified at or before birth. However, some may go undetected for years. Diagnosis involves:
  • 1 Echocardiogram: Shows blood movement through the heart and valves; fetal echocardiography is used for unborn babies.
  • 2 Chest X-ray: Examines the chest, lungs, and heart size; detects additional fluid in the lungs.
  • 3. EKG/ECG: Identifies arrhythmias.
  • 4. MRI or CT Scan: Used when other tests are inconclusive, especially for ASD.
  • 5. Cardiac Catheterization: A thin catheter is inserted through the groin or arm to detect defects in the heart or valves (primarily for VSD).
  • 6. Pulse Oximetry: Measures oxygen levels in the blood, commonly for VSD.

The cost of ASD/VSD closure surgery depends on the diagnostic findings.

Treating VSD/ASD

Some smaller VSDs close naturally over time, requiring only regular monitoring. Treatment options include:
  • 1. Medications: Diuretics or drugs to reduce fluid circulation.
  • 2. Surgical Repair: Open-heart surgery using stitches or patches to close the hole.
  • 3. Catheterization: A less invasive procedure where a catheter inserts a mesh to patch the hole.
  • 4. Universelle Medicaid offers expert treatment options for ASD/VSD closure at competitive costs.
