3D Model of Atrial Septal Defect

Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) is a congenital heart defect where there is an abnormal opening in the septum, the wall that separates the heart’s two upper chambers (the atria). This hole allows oxygen-rich blood from the left atrium to mix with oxygen-poor blood in the right atrium, leading to increased blood flow to the lungs. Over time, this can cause complications such as pulmonary hypertension, heart failure, or arrhythmias. Small ASDs may close on their own, but larger defects often require surgical intervention. Our 3D model of ASD provides a clear visualization of this defect and its effects on heart function.
