In this video, we explore what a secundum atrial septal defect (ASD) is, its effects on the heart, and the available treatment options. A secundum ASD is a common heart defect characterised by a hole in the septum between the left and right atria. This condition can lead to abnormal blood flow, increasing pressure on the right side of the heart and potentially causing complications over time.

Video Content Summary:
Introduction to Secundum Atrial Septal Defect (ASD): A secundum ASD is a simple yet significant hole in the heart that can cause blood to flow abnormally between the left and right atria. Initially, it may not cause symptoms, but over time, it can increase pressure on the right side of the heart and in the lungs.
Complications and Shunt Development: As the condition progresses, the shunt can become balanced, which is a serious sign indicating high pressure on the right side of the heart. This situation is often irreversible if not treated promptly.

Treatment Options:
Percutaneous Closure: In most cases, a secundum ASD can be closed percutaneously. This involves passing a wire through the groin under sedation and using an echocardiogram to guide an umbrella device into the hole.
Surgical Closure: If percutaneous closure is not possible, surgery may be required. Fortunately, this can often be done through a small incision between the ribs, reducing recovery time and minimising risks like infection and bleeding.

Conclusion:
Early diagnosis and treatment of a secundum ASD are crucial to prevent long-term complications. With advancements in medical technology, both percutaneous and surgical treatments offer effective solutions with minimal recovery time.The information provided in this video is for information only and does not replace advice given to you by your doctor.
