After a catheterization or surgery for an atrial septal defect, it’s important to stick to your follow-up plan. This may include taking medicines to protect against infection and blood clots and seeing a cardiologist regularly to be sure you’re doing well. Once your incision heals, you’ll likely be able to resume normal activities with your cardiologist’s permission.
Depending upon your condition and the severity of treatment and symptoms, pregnancy needs to be monitored closely. Sometimes, it is not recommended at all.
