Treatment

• Treatment will depend on the childs age and the
  size, location, and severity of the defect. 
• Treatment options
• Open-Heart Surgery
• This type of surgery is done through an incision
  in the chest, surgeons use patches to close the
  hole. This procedure is the preferred treatment
  for certain types of atrial septal defects
  (primum, sinus venosus and coronary sinus), and
  these types of atrial defects can only be
  repaired through open-heart surgery.

• Cardiac Catheterization
• Under this procedure a catheter which is a thin
  flexible tube is guided to the heart through a
  blood vessel in the groin, using imaging
  techniques.
• A mesh patch or plug is placed to close the hole
  with the help of the catheter. Once in place, the
  mesh gets covered by heart tissue around it
  permanently sealing the hole.

Follow-up

• Follow-up care depends on the type of defect and
  whether other defects are present.
• For simple atrial septal defects closed during
  childhood, only occasional follow-up care is
  needed.
• Adults who've had atrial septal defect repair
  need to have regular follow-up appointments to
  check for complications, such as pulmonary
  hypertension, arrhythmias, heart failure or valve
  problems.
