Daughter, Hasilpur
Sir my Daughter has ASD I want to confirm that if she needs Open Heart surgery or ASD Device?
Waslam as echo shows ASD yes she needs open heart surgery definitely otherway is device clsoure without opeartion
She definitely needs Surgical Repair and not a device closure
I am truly sorry to learn about your daughter. Based on the information you have shared, including the echo reports, it seems a catheter-based procedure using a plug or mesh seems viable and could potentially close the ASD with least trauma hence should be the 1st choice of therapy. However, a comprehensive evaluation is necessary, preferably involving 3D echo, or if 3d echo is not available alternatively, a standard echo or MRI to assess the rim's integrity and dimensions where the device will be placed. I believe the advice from AFIC is sound, and proceeding with device closure appears to be a reasonable course of action. Following the procedure, she will likely require blood-thinning medication for a few months and regular echo follow-ups to monitor the device and the mitral valve. Hopefully, as it is anticipated that any existing Mitral valve leakage will improve or, at a minimum, stabilize as the right-sided heart pressure normalizes post-procedure. I trust this assessment is helpful. If you require further detailed discussion and are unable to afford consultation fees, please inquire with Marham regarding the possibility of a complimentary/free online consultation with me. I would be happy to assist. Thank you, and may Allah bless your daughter with good health.
