Balloon Atrial Septostomy

Balloon Atrial Septostomy

Balloon Atrial Septostomy is a life-saving emergency procedure performed on newborns with severe congenital heart defects like transposition of the great arteries (TGA). It involves inserting a catheter with a balloon at the tip into the atrial septum, which is then inflated and pulled back to create or enlarge a hole between the atria, improving oxygen-rich blood mixing and circulation.
