Patent Ductus Arteriosus PDA Device Closure

PDA Device Closure Procedure in Yeshwanthpur

The Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) device closure is a simple procedure to fix a heart issue called Patent Ductus Arteriosus. In this condition, the ductus arteriosus, which is supposed to close shortly after birth, remains open. This can cause abnormal blood flow between two major arteries near the heart. The procedure involves inserting a device through a catheter to seal the duct, preventing abnormal blood flow. It's a precise and effective treatment for this cardiac issue.

Your heart doctor will make a small cut on the left side of your chest, between the ribs. They close the PDA by tying it with a special thread or using a small metal clip. Sometimes, they may use a patch. During the procedure, they will closely check your vital signs to keep you safe. After it's done, they will watch you for a short time. Most people can go back to normal activities in a day or two. This way of fixing the PDA is good because it's less risky than the usual surgery. 

After it's closed, your heart should work better, and you'll feel better, too. This is a common but important fix that makes sure your heart works well. The operation typically takes between one and three hours. You will require a general anaesthetic for the surgery so that you do not experience any substantial discomfort.
