MICS ASD Closure
MICS ASD Closure (Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery for Atrial Septal Defect) is an advanced heart surgery technique used to close a hole in the heart through small incisions instead of open-heart surgery. It offers faster recovery, less pain, and better cosmetic results.
This modern approach is widely used for treating Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) in children and adults when device closure is not suitable.
What is Atrial Septal Defect (ASD)?
ASD is a congenital heart defect where there is a hole in the wall between the two upper chambers of the heart. This causes mixing of oxygen-rich and oxygen-poor blood, leading to heart strain over time.
Symptoms of ASD
- Shortness of breath
- Frequent fatigue
- Palpitations
- Recurrent chest infections
- Swelling in legs
