Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, you should go for open surgical repair for ASD (Atrial Septal Defect).
Open repair is having higher success rate, lower failure rate as compare to umbrella surgery.
Since her age is only 27 years, it is advisable to do surgery with life long benefits and hence open surgical repair of ASD is advisable over umbrella surgery.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wishing good health to your sister. Thanks.
