AGA Medical pioneered the repair of congenital and structural heart defects using non-surgical techniques for treating a wide range of these life threatening diseases.
Atrial Septal Defects (ASD) are caused by incomplete growth of the tissue wall (septum) that separates the upper chambers of the heart (atria).
A Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) is a small opening in the wall (septum) between the left atrium and the right atrium.
|
Ventricular Septal Defects (VSD) are caused by incomplete growth of the tissue wall (septum) that separates the lower chambers of the heart (ventricles).
Blood vessel occlusion (closure) may be used to reduce or eliminate blood flow to a targeted organ, or to reroute blood flow through other vessels.
