ASD Closure Surgery cost in Turkey

The atrial septal defect (ASD) closure surgery cost in Turkey ranges from $10000 to $14000 US dollars. It is a procedure to repair a hole in the wall (septum) between the heart's upper chambers (atria). It can be done through open-heart surgery or minimally invasive techniques like catheter-based device closure.

What is ASD Closure Surgery?

ASD closure is a medical procedure used to seal an Atrial Septal Defect (ASD), it is a hole in the wall (septum) between the heart’s two upper chambers (atria). This defect allows oxygen-rich and oxygen-poor blood to mix, which can strain the heart and lungs over time.

Who Requires ASD Closure?

ASD closure is advised when the atrial septal defect is hemodynamically significant, symptomatic, or causing complications. Typical candidates include:

Patients with moderate to large ASD detected on echocardiography
Individuals experiencing shortness of breath or easy fatigue
Evidence of right heart enlargement (right atrium / ventricle dilation)
Signs of excess blood flow to the lungs
Development or risk of pulmonary hypertension
History of stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) linked to ASD
Recurrent respiratory infections, especially in children
Reduced exercise tolerance or stamina
Presence of heart murmur with structural impact
Young adults with previously undiagnosed congenital ASD
Patients with paradoxical embolism risk
Children with ASD that does not close spontaneously

Types of Atrial Septal Defect (ASD)

Type of ASD	Description
Ostium Secundum ASD	The most common type. Occurs in the middle part of the atrial septum (fossa ovalis region). Often suitable for device (catheter-based) closure.
Ostium Primum ASD	Located in the lower part of the atrial septum. Frequently associated with abnormalities of the mitral or tricuspid valves. Typically requires surgical repair.
Sinus Venosus ASD	Found near the entry of the superior or inferior vena cava. Commonly associated with abnormal pulmonary vein connections. Surgical correction is usually required.
Coronary Sinus ASD	A rare defect involving the coronary sinus region. Often linked with other congenital heart anomalies. Managed primarily through surgery.

Types of ASD Closure Surgery and Cost

Surgery Type	Description
Device (Catheter-Based) Closure	A minimally invasive technique where a catheter is inserted through a blood vessel (usually the groin) to place a closure device that seals the defect. Commonly used for suitable ostium secundum ASDs.
Surgical ASD Closure	Traditional open-heart surgery where the defect is closed using sutures or a patch. Recommended for large, complex, or non-device-suitable ASDs.
Minimally Invasive Surgical Closure	Performed through smaller chest incisions instead of full sternotomy. Offers reduced recovery time and less surgical trauma in selected patients.
Patch Repair Closure	A surgical method where a synthetic or biological patch is used to cover larger defects. Frequently applied in primum or complex ASDs.
