Expert Medical Information
An atrial septal defect of 10 millimeters is considered medium-sized. If it's a primum atrial septal defect, surgical intervention should be performed as early as possible.For secundum atrial septal defects of this size, since the condition progresses relatively slowly, noticeable symptoms and pulmonary hypertension or heart function decline typically don't appear early. Therefore, surgical treatment can usually be postponed until preschool age.There are two treatment options available:1. Interventional closure surgery2. Open-chest surgeryBoth of which are definitive treatments. However, primum atrial septal defects can only be treated through open-chest surgery.The surgical approach may involve a right subaxillary incision to access the chest, establishing cardiopulmonary bypass and using a patch to close the defect.
Common symptoms include fever, fatigue, and discomfort in the affected area. Always consult with a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis.
Diagnosis typically involves a physical examination, medical history review, and possibly laboratory tests or imaging studies depending on the suspected cause.
Treatment options vary based on the specific condition, severity, and individual health factors. They may include medication, lifestyle changes, physical therapy, or in some cases, surgical intervention.
Seek immediate medical attention if you experience severe symptoms, rapid worsening of condition, or if self-care measures aren't providing relief within a reasonable timeframe.
