Lateral and median openings for atrial defects are usually chosen for median openings, depending on the surgeon’s instructions, and the procedure that is right for the patient. Atrial defect is a defect of the atrial septum, which is a congenital heart disease, and may lead to enlargement of the atria, which may cause shortness of breath after exercise, palpitations (rapid heartbeat, often accompanied by panic) (rapid heartbeat, often accompanied by panic), and malaise, and congestive heart failure and pulmonary hypertension may occur in later stages, which can be treated by surgery, and the general choice is a median incision, or a side incision, which is a little bit smaller than the median incision.

Specifically according to the individual situation, listen to the doctor’s advice, choose the appropriate way of surgery, do not exercise strenuously after surgery, pay attention to nutritional supplements, diet to light.
