This surgery can be performed on patients with ASD (Atrial Septal Defect). These patients suffer from a hole in the wall (septum) of the heart that causes oxygenated blood to mix with deoxygenated blood, rather than properly circulating throughout the body. ASD Closure can be performed either surgically (if necessary) or nonsurgically. In the surgical method, a tissue patch or suture is used to close the hole. In the nonsurgical method, the surgeon uses a catheter, inserted into a vein in the groin region, to place an ASD closure device into the heart region and around the ASD, thus closing the hole. As time goes on, tissue grows over the device, permanently correcting the issue.

Highly disappointed. Staff attitude was not good, appointment was delayed since the doctor was not available and no one was willing to give us any update about his OPD time. The infrastructure is word class but the medical care is below average.
Coming here is like dealing with a trusted extended family. I have always been able to talk to the doctor and get my problems resolved in no time.
My experience with Aster Medicity has been good. There was some language problem that I encountered, other than that everything was up to the mark at the hospital.
Aster Medicity is a very nice hospital. Staff took proper care of me . I appreciate all the care provided.
