Balloon Atrial Septostomy (BAS)

Some newborns are born with congenital heart defects where blood cannot mix properly between the heart’s chambers. At NeoClinic, we perform Balloon Atrial Septostomy (BAS), an emergency catheter-based procedure that creates or enlarges a hole in the atrial septum, allowing oxygen-rich and oxygen-poor blood to mix.

What is BAS?

A catheter with a balloon at the tip is inserted into the heart. The balloon is inflated and pulled back across the atrial wall, creating an opening that improves oxygen circulation until corrective surgery can be done.

When is it Needed?

• Transposition of the Great Arteries (TGA)
• Severe cyanotic congenital heart disease
• Critically ill newborns with low oxygen levels
• As a bridge to definitive surgery
