At University Hospital, PDA Closure is performed using specialized pediatric cardiac techniques and comprehensive pre-procedure cardiovascular assessment. Established in 1842, this SAC accredited hospital in Basel, Switzerland has 773 beds and offers advanced pediatric and congenital cardiac services.

PDA Closure may be considered for children or adults with a persistent ductus arteriosus that is clinically significant or complicated. In catheter-based closure, a thin catheter is introduced through a blood vessel and guided to the PDA, where a closure device is positioned to block abnormal blood flow. Echocardiography and other imaging studies are used to assess the size and anatomy of the PDA and determine the most appropriate treatment approach.
