The general consideration of cardiac hole filling mainly refers to the atrial septal defect or ventricular septal defect repair surgery, which generally does not require 6 hours to complete, but the operation time needs to be analyzed according to the surgical procedure and the differences in individual conditions.
There are two types of cardiac surgery: interventional blockage and open heart surgery. Interventional blockage is generally applicable to patients with milder conditions and takes less time, about 0.5 to 2.5 hours; open heart surgery generally takes longer, about 3 to 4 hours or even longer, depending on the severity of the condition.
Individual differences in medical conditions also affect the operation time. The vascular condition of the patient is very important for interventional blockage, such as chronic occlusive lesions, calcified lesions, tortuous lesions, etc. will lead to prolongation of the operation time; in open thoracic surgery, the repair process is more stimulating to the heart, and the patient’s basal condition and the heart condition during the operation will have an impact on the operation time.
There are many complex factors affecting the duration of surgery for repair of atrial septal defects or ventricular septal defects. If you need to undergo this type of surgery, it is recommended that you visit a specialized hospital and consult with a doctor for the next step of treatment.
