Asd Device

An atrial septal defect (ASD) closure device plugs an opening in the wall that separates the left and right upper chambers of your heart (atria) called the interatrial septum. ASDs are holes that are present at birth but shouldn’t be.

You may also need a cardiac closure device for a patent foramen ovale (PFO). A PFO isn’t a true opening like an ASD, but instead a potential space in the interatrial septum that a fetus uses in normal fetal circulation. Only a fetus uses the foramen ovale. It should normally close after birth. If the foramen ovale remains open, it’s referred to as being “patent”, hence the term patent foramen ovale.

These openings may close on their own or be small enough that they don’t cause issues. But people who have shortness of breath, fatigue or heart palpitations may need a cardiac closure device.
