Whether an atrial septal aneurysm needs treatment depends on factors such as the size of the tumor, symptoms, and whether there are related complications. The following are general treatment recommendations: 1. Regular review: If the tumor is small, has no obvious symptoms, and does not affect heart function, it usually does not need immediate treatment. The doctor may recommend regular cardiac ultrasound examination to observe the size and shape of the tumor. 2. Surgical treatment: If the tumor is large and presents obvious symptoms such as dyspnea, arrhythmia, chest pain, etc., or if the tumor is at risk of complications such as rupture and thrombosis, surgery may be a better option. The purpose of surgery is to repair or remove the atrial septal bulge and repair the structural abnormalities of the heart. Interventional therapy may also be an option in certain cases. Interventional therapy may be achieved by an endovascular approach, using devices such as occluders to seal the atrial septal aneurysm. 4. Treatment complications: If atrial septal aneurysm has caused arrhythmia, thrombosis and other complications, it is necessary to treat these complications accordingly, such as drug therapy, electrophysiological therapy or anticoagulant therapy. It is necessary to note that the treatment of atrial septal aneurysm should be individualized according to individual conditions. During treatment, patients need to cooperate closely with their doctor and follow up regularly with their doctor's advice. In addition, for certain groups such as pregnant women, children and the elderly, treatment options may need to be more cautious and individualized. Doctors will weigh the risks and benefits of treatment according to the patient's specific situation and choose the most appropriate treatment. In summary, treatment of an atrial septal aneurysm requires a combination of factors, including the size of the aneurysm, symptoms, complications, and the overall health of the patient. If there is doubt about the treatment of an atrial septal aneurysm, it is recommended to consult a cardiologist for more detailed and personalized advice.
