Indraprastha Apollo Hospital PDA Closure Package

PDA- A ductus arteriosus is present in every newborn. The opening is no longer required after delivery, and it normally narrows and closes within a few days. The ductus does not always shut after delivery. The failure of the ductus to shut is common in premature babies, although it is uncommon in full-term babies. The cause of PDA in most children is unknown. Along with the PDA, some children may have other cardiac issues.

PDA, also known as PDA occlusion, is a minimally invasive procedure. As a result, it is a risk-free and low-risk technique. Transcatheter and Surgical Closure are two procedures that can be used. Which technique a patient is eligible for varies from patient to patient. If the hole in the heart is tiny, it can be corrected using a non-surgical device (transcatheter), but if it is too large, surgery is required.

Heart catheterization is a relatively low-risk technique in general, although it is not without risk. The following are the most common risks associated with PDA closure:

• Break through a blood vessel or the heart wall
• Small leak through the closure device
• Inflammation
• Pain for sometime
• Heart infection

After the procedure, the patient is transferred to the NICU or ICU, where they will be intensively monitored for the next 24-48 hours. Following the surgery, circulation, respiration, and feeding should all improve quickly. The great majority of patients have a PDA device closed, spend one night in the hospital before being discharged the next day. Within a week, they are usually back to full activity.

It's critical to have regular follow-up treatment for the rest of your life, especially if you or your baby had the surgical closure surgery-

• Patients who have a PDA that requires surgery or device closure must take antibiotics before any dental or surgical treatments for at least 6 months after the procedure. This measure is used to reduce the chances of a bacterial infection arising in the cardiac tissue
• This follow-up care could be as easy as frequent appointments with your doctor, or it could include regular problems screenings. The most important thing is to talk to your doctor about your treatment plan and make sure you follow all of his or her suggestions
• Even after successful treatment, people and parents of children with congenital heart abnormalities are concerned about the risks of strenuous activity and rough play. Although some children and adults with patent ductus arteriosus may need to limit the quantity or type of exercise they do, the majority of people with patent ductus arteriosus will lead normal lives. Your doctor, or the doctor of your child, can advise you on which activities are safe

The PDA closure device is placed in the heart permanently. The body's natural healing process will eventually cover the device in tissue. With the implant, your baby's heart will continue to expand. Six months after the procedure, schedule a follow-up appointment with your cardiologists to confirm that the PDA is properly closed.
