ASD & PDA Closure

Minimally Invasive Treatment for Congenital Heart Defects

ASD (Atrial Septal Defect) and PDA (Patent Ductus Arteriosus) closure are advanced, minimally invasive procedures used to correct common congenital heart defects. These conditions involve abnormal openings in the heart that allow improper blood flow between chambers or vessels, leading to increased strain on the heart and lungs. Early diagnosis and timely closure help prevent long-term complications and support normal heart function.

Understanding ASD and PDA

ASD is a hole in the wall (septum) between the heart’s upper chambers, while PDA is a persistent opening between the aorta and pulmonary artery. Both conditions can result in excess blood flow to the lungs and may cause symptoms if left untreated.

Common symptoms include:

• Shortness of breath

• Frequent respiratory infections

• Fatigue or poor exercise tolerance

• Delayed growth in children

• Heart murmurs

Purpose of ASD & PDA Closure

The goal of ASD and PDA closure is to stop abnormal blood flow, reduce pressure on the heart, and prevent complications such as heart failure, pulmonary hypertension, and arrhythmias.

ASD & PDA closure is recommended to:

• Restore normal blood circulation

• Prevent progressive heart damage

• Improve physical endurance

• Support healthy growth in children

• Reduce long-term cardiac risks

How the Procedure Is Performed

ASD and PDA closure is typically performed using catheter-based techniques. A thin catheter is guided through a blood vessel to the heart, and a specialized closure device is placed to seal the defect. The procedure is performed without open-heart surgery and requires only a small incision.

Benefits of Device Closure

• No open-heart surgery

• Minimally invasive technique

• Short hospital stay

• Faster recovery

• Reduced post-procedure discomfort

Who Can Benefit from ASD & PDA Closure

• Infants and children with congenital heart defects

• Adults diagnosed later in life

• Patients with symptoms or significant shunt flow

• Individuals at risk of pulmonary hypertension

Recovery and Aftercare

Most patients recover quickly and return to normal activities within a short period. Follow-up visits and imaging ensure proper device placement and heart function.
