• Deepak, whether or not your situation requires any intervention (surgery or catheter-based) is something only your cardiologist can advise. However, as in all areas of cardiac medicine, treatment options are constantly changing. In April of this year the US FDA approved the STARflex device to close these defects without major open heart surgery. The device also has CE Mark in Europe.
