Indications for Surgical Repair
Surgical Closure
- Surgical closure is more complicated compared to other atrial septal defect repair.
- Patch should be attached to the septum at the juncture of the mitral and tricuspid valves.
- Mitral valve repair, closure of the cleft mitral leaflet, annuloplasty and mitral valve replacement may be required to repair mitral insufficiency.
