A hospital appears on this page when Paediatric Cardiology is among its listed specialties and it is located in UAE. Hospitals are not ranked by a proprietary "best" score — the order follows the listed rating (highest first), the same field shown on each hospital's profile.
How to Select the Best Hospital for Atrial Septal Defect Closure in UAE?
Choosing the right hospital for atrial septal defect closure is one of the most important decisions in your treatment journey. A few factors are worth weighing before you decide:
International Accreditation
Look for a hospital with international accreditation such as JCI or NABH — see the accreditation badges shown for each hospital below.
Specialization
Check that the hospital's listed specialties actually include paediatric cardiology rather than only general care.
Capacity and Track Record
Bed count and year established (shown below for each hospital) are a reasonable proxy for scale and operating experience.
Transparent Costs
Ask for an itemised, all-inclusive estimate — hospital charges, room category and stay — before you travel. Our cost calculator (linked below) gives a starting estimate.
Understanding Atrial Septal Defect Closure
Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) Closure is a highly effective cardiac intervention—performed either via minimally invasive transcatheter (device closure) or open-heart surgery—that achieves procedural success rates exceeding 95% in experienced centres.
Clinical Overview
- An Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) is a congenital structural anomaly characterised by a persistent opening in the interatrial septum, allowing oxygenated blood from the left atrium to shunt into the right atrium.
- This left-to-right shunt causes chronic volume overload of the right heart, progressive right ventricular dilatation, pulmonary overcirculation, and—if left uncorrected—eventual pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), atrial arrhythmias, paradoxical embolism, and right heart failure.
- The four anatomical subtypes—Ostium Secundum (most common, ~70%), Ostium Primum, Sinus Venosus, and Coronary Sinus ASD—differ in location, associated anomalies, and suitability for percutaneous versus surgical repair.
Who is a Candidate?
- IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR ASD CLOSURE:
- Patients with echocardiographically confirmed ASD with Qp:Qs ≥ 1.5:1 and right ventricular volume overload (Class I indication)
- Patients with any-sized ASD and a history of cryptogenic stroke or TIA attributable to paradoxical embolism (Class I, device closure preferred)
- Symptomatic patients with exertional dyspnoea, reduced exercise tolerance, or palpitations attributable to right heart volume overload

Treatment Options & Approaches
- TRANSCATHETER (PERCUTANEOUS) ASD DEVICE CLOSURE — PREFERRED FOR ELIGIBLE SECUNDUM ASDs:
Recovery
- PHASE 1 — PRE-ARRIVAL & REMOTE CONSULTATION (Weeks 1–2 before travel): Patient submits medical records, echocardiogram reports, and cardiac MRI (if available) to GAF Healthcare's medical coordination team.
- Records are reviewed by a shortlisted congenital cardiologist within 48–72 hours.
- A detailed treatment plan—including recommended approach (device vs. surgical), estimated costs, and hospital selection—is provided.
Risks to be aware of
- ASD closure is a well-established, low-risk procedure in experienced hands, but patients must be counselled on procedure-specific complications.
- For transcatheter device closure, risks include: device embolisation or malposition (0.5–1%), requiring percutaneous retrieval or surgical explantation; cardiac erosion or perforation (rare, ~0.1%, but serious — associated with oversized devices or deficient aortic rim); air embolism; vascular access complications (haematoma, arteriovenous fistula); transient ischaemic attack or stroke (<0.5%); new-onset atrial arrhythmias (5–10%, usually transient); pericardial effusion or cardiac tamponade (<1%); and incomplete closure with residual shunt (clinically significant residual shunts requiring re-intervention: <2%).
