Featured ❤️ Case: Minimally Invasive ASD Closure
Today we’re highlighting a procedure called percutaneous closure of an atrial septal defect (ASD)—a minimally invasive technique performed through a vein, allowing patients to avoid open‑heart surgery and enjoy a faster recovery.
What is an Atrial Septal Defect?
An ASD is a hole in the wall between the heart’s two upper chambers. This opening allows extra blood to flow where it shouldn’t, causing the heart and lungs to work harder. Closing the defect can prevent long‑term complications and improve heart function.
Advanced care. Local expertise. Better outcomes. That’s the Sequoia Cardiovascular Associates difference.
