ASD, VSD & PDA Closure
Closing abnormal heart openings through a minimally invasive catheter procedure.
Overview
These structural defects create abnormal shunting of blood between heart chambers or vessels. Using a closure device delivered through a sheath, we seal the defect percutaneously — avoiding open-heart surgery, with excellent cosmetic and recovery outcomes.
Procedure Details
- Echocardiographic and angiographic sizing of the defect.
- Amplatzer-style occluder devices tailored to each anatomy.
- Real-time imaging confirmation of complete closure.
- Follow-up echocardiography to verify device stability and function.
Who It Is Recommended For
- Secundum atrial septal defect (ASD) with suitable anatomy.
- Selected ventricular septal defects (VSD).
- Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in children and adults.
- Significant shunts leading to volume overload or symptoms.
