PDA Closure Surgery
Trusted by Patients From 35+ Countries
What is PDA Closure Surgery?
PDA Closure Surgery is a procedure used to treat a congenital heart condition called Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA). This condition occurs when a blood vessel (ductus arteriosus) that normally closes after birth remains open, causing abnormal blood flow between the aorta and pulmonary artery.
The procedure involves closing this abnormal connection either through a minimally invasive catheter-based technique or surgical intervention, restoring normal blood circulation.
Why is PDA Closure Surgery Done?
PDA closure is performed to prevent complications and improve heart function. It is recommended when:
- The duct remains open after birth
- The baby or child shows symptoms like fast breathing, poor feeding, or failure to gain weight
- There is excess blood flow to the lungs
- The heart is under increased strain
- There is a risk of infections like endocarditis or heart failure
Early closure helps ensure normal growth and prevents long-term complications.
Who is an Eligible Candidate for PDA Closure Surgery in India?
Patients who may be eligible include:
- Infants, children, or adults diagnosed with PDA
- Babies with symptoms such as breathing difficulty or delayed growth
- Patients with moderate to large PDA detected on echocardiography
- Individuals with evidence of heart enlargement or pulmonary overload
- Patients medically fit for the procedure
In India, pediatric cardiologists evaluate each case to determine the best treatment method.
Types of PDA Closure Surgery
There are two main approaches:
1. Device Closure (Catheter-Based)
- Minimally invasive procedure
- A closure device is inserted through a catheter (usually via the groin)
- Preferred method with faster recovery
2. Surgical Ligation
- Open or minimally invasive surgery to tie off the duct
- Used in premature babies or complex cases where device closure is not suitable
Diagnostic Tests Done Before PDA Closure Surgery
Before the procedure, several tests are conducted:
- Echocardiography (2D Echo / Doppler study)
- Chest X-ray
- Electrocardiogram (ECG)
- Cardiac catheterization (in select cases)
- Blood tests and oxygen level assessment
These tests help confirm the diagnosis and guide treatment planning.
