Closing the gap toward a healthier, more active life.
Discovering a hole in the heart—whether for yourself or for your child—can bring a sudden wave of worry. Deciding to undergo ASD closure is a major step toward preventing future complications and restoring heart health. Shifara Health exists so that this essential medical journey, and the details of traveling for treatment, are never something you have to navigate alone.
An Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) is a congenital heart condition characterized by an abnormal opening in the wall (septum) that divides the heart’s two upper chambers. ASD Closure is the procedure used to seal this opening, preventing oxygen-rich and oxygen-poor blood from mixing and reducing strain on the lungs and right side of the heart.
Depending on the size and location of the defect, closure can be performed either through a minimally invasive catheter-based procedure—in which a tiny device (occluder) is guided into place through a blood vessel—or through surgical repair using a specialized patch. India’s leading cardiac centers perform thousands of both device-based and surgical ASD closures every year with remarkable success rates, utilizing advanced imaging and precision techniques.
India’s top heart institutions offer state-of-the-art interventional cardiology labs and specialized pediatric/adult cardiac operating suites without long waiting times. International patients from the Gulf, Africa, and neighboring regions have access to globally accredited specialists, cutting-edge closure devices, and compassionate nursing care—all at a fraction of the cost found in Western or regional healthcare hubs, without compromising clinical quality.
We review your echocardiograms and cardiac imaging, match you with the right interventional cardiologist or surgeon, and take care of your medical visa, travel, and hospital bookings. Everything is organized before you step onto the plane.
A Shifara Health team member meets you upon arrival. Your hospital admission, specialist consultations, and room arrangements are completely prepared in advance, allowing you to settle in as a cared-for patient.
From pre-procedure assessments through the catheterization or surgical lab and into recovery, our team stays close. We act as a constant bridge of communication between your medical team, you, and your family back home.
Recovery from ASD closure involves routine follow-up echoes to confirm the device or patch is perfectly positioned. We coordinate your step-down care, discharge instructions, return travel, and long-term follow-ups that continue well after you return home.
We believe in transparency before commitment. The figures below are starting points. Your Shifara Health advisor will share a personalized estimate based on whether a device or surgical procedure is required, your chosen hospital, and your overall care plan.
