My 18 mounth boy has an secundum asd 14 mm. is he suitable candidate for cath closure. and after clousing he can live his normal life.?

Talk to his : Pediatric cardiologist about his suitability but yes he can live a normal life with appropriate & timely treatment. Good luck!

Normal life: A nirmal exercise tolerance, life expectancy and good quality of life can be expected if an ASD is diagnosed and treated at an early age.

A Bit Young Now: Secundum asds do not cause long-term problems for years and years. I am an interventional pediatric cardiologist and typically do not close asds in the cath lab until the children are at least 4 or 5. The surgeons do the same. Children with asds do live well into adulthood without problems (i.e. Grandparent age) though their life-expectancy is likely just a few years shorter than normal.
