Current Postings on This Page (8): • Hello, I am having trouble finding blogs concerning adults that have just
discovered that they have asd's and have actually had the surgery. Can someone
help me? I have just been diagnosed having 2 ASD's and my doctor's are recommending
by-pass surgery. I just want to speak with some people that have had the procedure. • I have found a website that is used for treatment
of atrial septal defect: http://doctorfinders.com/amplatzer.php • Hi, My mom aged 50 years has been diagnosed with
a 14 mm ASD in the left ventricle. What are the available options to close
this? Can this be done without open-heart surgery? What are the risks involved
in all available options. Also, this has been diagnosed pretty recently
though it must've been there for a long time period. Many Thanks. • Yes ... Your site
is proving to be a great help...I wish your entire team a grand success....in
all your pursuits.
Regards. • Tsbedi -- here's a quick
link to some information on percutaneous (with a catheter) repair
of ASD. Also the Amplatzer is made by AGA and
their website has information. • Sir This request
is from the father of a 27 year old daughter, diagonosed very recently
so late in life for a 42 mm ASD. Till last year She did not exhibit any
symptoms of the defect. Other report listed says " Large Ost Secondum
ASD, Inadequate rims : Superior 2 mm Inferior 7 mm Anterior 5 mm Posterior
2 mm, Dilated RA/RV/PA, MILD TR, PAH PASP = 44 max, L to R Shunt across
ASD, QP:QS > 3:1, N LV size & fr, N Valion No other associated anomaly
like VSD/PDA/MVA/PS .." and Inc RBBB, RAD Another report conducted at
same heart center here in Noida near NDelhi, where we stay put the hole
size at 37-39 mm.2 degree ASD, L - R flow RV 3.5 cm, with RA RV volume
overload, 7 mm rim from TV & MV, Normal Pulminory verious drainage, Normal
MV/TV/PV, No PS Pulm velocity 2 mts/sec, No PDA, Trivial Tr, RVSP 32
+ 8 = 40 mm Normal R/L V function Being marriageable, she is scared of
a scar For my unflinching faith in Almighty and the science of medical
interventions HE has created alongside all other known and unknown bounties
of life, I am sure there would be some treatment for closing a hole of
a size between 36 to 42 mm as indicated without surgery and through an
Amplatzev device or may be even through some other miraculous medicinal
intake.. MY BELIEF IN GOD ASSURES ME HE OFFERS ALL KINDS OF SOLUTIONS
THAT MEN JUST HAVE TO EXPLORE I am a sad father in search of help from
humanity..Can you kindly guide me further...What to do, where to go,
whom to approach My daughter has been my life line and inspiration like
my son for else I needed nothing more and beyond any more from life..
I am sure a concered researcher can steer me out of trouble God bless
you all and your teams Great regards • Hi,
i am a clinical educator in a cath lab in Saudi Arabia and we deal
with LOADS of VSD repairs. I am not sure if your daughter is having
a surgical repair or a repair in a cath lab. Either way, it is safe
and no matter how big the VSD is it will be sized by a heart scan and
the appropriate sized patch or seal will be used. It is neccessary
to repair because at the moment the blood in your daughters heart is
mixing, and eventually the pressure will cause changes in the heart,
when we seal it, all returns to normal , as it should be. • My
daughter has a hole in the heart vsd defect and severe pulmonary hypertension
emphyzema----she's on digoxin and lasix. Please advice about how safe
is it to seal the heart hole ---if her vsd defect hole is large than
do you think the seal can work? |
