Out of curiosity, what structures should one be careful of when doing a surgical repair of ASD? I can't seem to visualize where the structures are located... AV node, SA node, coronary sinus? What do you think? Thanks in advance!
 
Theres a few different types of ASD. Best to look at a picture. Google is your friend
