How It Works
What is PDA Device Closure?
A PDA is a hole in the aorta that isn’t closed.
The fetus’s blood does not need to get to the lungs to get oxygenated before birth. The ductus arteriosus is a hole in the heart that allows blood to bypass the circulatory system and go straight to the lungs. However, the blood must get oxygen in the lungs when the infant is born, and this hole is meant to close. If the ductus arteriosus remains open (or patent), blood may bypass this crucial step in the circulation process. The patent ductus arteriosus is the name for the open hole (PDA).
Because the heart and lungs do not have to work as hard when the PDA is tiny, it will not cause symptoms. A specific sort of murmur could be the only abnormal finding (noise heard with a stethoscope).
The infant may breathe faster and harder than usual if the PDA is big. Infants may struggle to eat and grow at a typical pace. Symptoms may not appear for several weeks after the baby is born. Because more blood than usual is pumped into the lungs, high pressure might develop in the blood vessels. The blood arteries in the lungs may be permanently damaged as a result of this over time.
The PDA may usually be closed by introducing catheters (long thin tubes) into the blood vessels in the leg to reach the heart and the PDA, and then placing a coil or other device into the PDA like a plug through the catheters.
When is PDA Device Closure required?
Any infant, either full-term or preterm, who has a hemodynamically severe PDA that needs to be closed.
How is PDA Device Closure done?
The transcatheter PDA closure will take approximately 45 minutes and is done under general anesthesia.
Step 1
A catheter will be inserted into the femoral vein in the baby’s groin by the cardiologist. They’ll use X-ray imaging to route the catheter to the heart and find the PDA. They’ll next put an occlusion device into the baby’s PDA through the catheter.
Step 2
This device will block the vessel and prevent blood from going into the lungs after it is in place. Finally, doctors will remove the catheter with care and cover the groin access point with a small bandage.
What is the Recovery after PDA Device Closure like?
Most patients with a modest unrepaired PDA or a treated PDA don’t need to take any additional precautions and can go about their daily lives without risk. Even if you don’t have pulmonary hypertension, your cardiologist may advise you to limit your physical activity for a short time after surgery or catheter closure.
What Results Can I Expect from PDA Device Closure?
The long-term outlook is excellent, and usually no medicines and no additional surgery or catheterization are needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
The ductus arteriosus generally closes two or three days after delivery. The opening takes longer to close in preterm newborns. A patent ductus arteriosus occurs when the link remains open.
As your child grows, a small patent ductus arteriosus may close on its own. A PDA that causes symptoms will require medication or surgery to treat. The cardiologist will regularly check to see if the PDA is closing on its own or needs an intervention. To avoid lung complications, if a PDA does not shut on its own, it will need to be repaired.
A PDA is termed small if it is less than 1.5 mm, moderate if it is between 1.5 and 3 mm, and large if it surpasses 3 mm.
Transcatheter PDA closure is a fairly safe technique with rare side effects. Impingement on adjacent structures, device dislodgement, and soreness/bruising at the groin site where the vessels were accessed to perform the surgery are possible risks, though happen rarely.
When you don’t receive enough oxygen, the skin goes blue (cyanosis)
- Feeling of exhaustion or tiredness
- Breathing that is fast or hard.
- Feeding difficulties or exhaustion while feeding
- Infections
- Weight gain is poor.
- Trouble doing activities in older children.
One of the most common congenital heart abnormalities is patent ductus arteriosus. In the United States, over 3,000 newborns are diagnosed with PDA each year. PDA is more common in premature babies, and it affects girls twice as much as it does boys.
Experience and turn around was great. I wouldn’t mind doing business with them again.
