Septal Closure

Septal Closure

Advanced Non-Surgical Treatment for ASD & PFO by Dr. Abhishek Kumar

Septal Closure is a minimally invasive cardiac procedure used to treat structural defects in the heart such as Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) and Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO). These openings in the heart’s septum can cause abnormal blood flow between the heart chambers, leading to symptoms like fatigue, palpitations, breathlessness, and an increased risk of stroke.

At Amaira Heart Centre, Meerut, Dr. Abhishek Kumar specializes in performing device-based Septal Closure, offering patients a safe and effective alternative to open-heart surgery. Using advanced catheter-based techniques, a small closure device is inserted through a vein in the leg and placed precisely over the defect to seal it permanently.

  • Atrial Septal Defect (ASD)
  • Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO)
  • Unexplained stroke (Cryptogenic stroke)

  • Enlargement of heart chambers due to abnormal blood flow

Procedure Highlights

  • Minimally invasive—no open-heart surgery required
