Cardiologists can now use catheter techniques to correct such problems without requiring significant open heart surgery, thanks to modern advancements. Device closure of the defect is the name given to this surgery. A catheter (tube) is put into your groin and advanced to your heart during this surgery. Then it’s passed over the flaw. An umbrella-like device is attached to the catheter and is dislodged across the defect. This particular gadget stayed open in the flaw, plugging the defect in this fashion. The flaw is permanently closed over time.
