Atrial septal defect 3 mm belongs to small defect, usually has no obvious symptoms and has little impact on daily life. For this condition, your doctor may prescribe a personalized treatment plan based on factors such as age, symptoms, and heart structure and function.The following are some of the possible treatments.1. Periodic reviews: For small, asymptomatic ASDs, your doctor may recommend periodic echocardiograms to monitor the defect.

Observation and waiting: If the patient is an adult, and the atrial septal defect has not changed significantly for many years, and there are no symptoms, the doctor may recommend observation and waiting, and regular reexamination can be done. 3. Interventional occlusion: Interventional closure is a minimally invasive procedure in which a catheter is inserted through the femoral vein or artery to deliver the occluder to the atrial septal defect and close it. This method is less invasive and faster to recover, and is a better option for patients who are younger, unable to tolerate surgery or unwilling to undergo thoracotomy. Surgery may be necessary if the ASD is large, symptomatic, or complicated by other heart conditions. Surgical procedures include repair of the ASD and closure of the ASD. It should be noted that the treatment of the ASD should be selected according to the specific conditions of the patient and the doctor will determine the most appropriate treatment plan for the patient after detailed evaluation.
