Who is this surgery for?
- Diagnosis of a significant secundum-type Atrial Septal Defect (ASD).
- Evidence of right heart enlargement or strain shown on echocardiogram.
- Symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, palpitations, or reduced exercise tolerance.
- History of paradoxical embolism (stroke or clot caused by the defect).
- To prevent long-term complications like pulmonary hypertension, heart failure, or arrhythmias.
- Defect size or location not suitable for percutaneous (catheter-based) device closure.
How to prepare
- Complete pre-operative cardiac evaluation, including echocardiogram and possibly a cardiac MRI or CT scan.
- Routine blood tests, chest X-ray, and ECG.

- Conversion to a traditional open sternotomy procedure if minimally invasive access is not feasible.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Initial recovery in the ICU or a specialized cardiac ward for close monitoring.
- Pain management for incisional discomfort, which is generally less severe than after sternotomy.

I've been seeing Dr. Muzammil for...
I've been seeing Dr. Muzammil for my lymphoma for over three years now. The first thing I noticed was how he never rushed. He’d sit, explain the scans in plain language, and actually remembered what we talked about last time. The hospital’s fancy, sure, but what matters is that I never feel like just another file on his desk. When my blood counts dipped last winter, his team called me before I even saw the report. That kind of consistency is what gets you through this.
