Device Closure for Congenital Heart Disease
What is Device Closure for Congenital Heart Disease?
Device closure is a minimally invasive, non-surgical procedure used to correct certain congenital (birth-related) heart defects, such as:
-
Atrial Septal Defect (ASD)
-
Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD)
-
Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA)
Instead of open-heart surgery, a small device is delivered through a catheter to close the abnormal opening in the heart. This procedure is done through a vein in the leg under imaging guidance — making recovery faster, safer, and less painful.
At Nidaan Heart Clinic, Vadodara, our expert cardiologists perform device closures using latest-generation cardiac occluder devices, helping patients of all ages live healthier, more active lives.
Who Needs This Procedure?
Device closure is recommended for:
-
Children or adults diagnosed with ASD, VSD, or PDA
-
Patients with small to moderate-sized defects detected on Echo or Cardiac MRI
-
Individuals with frequent chest infections, breathlessness, fatigue, or poor growth
-
Those who are not ideal candidates for open-heart surgery
-
Patients seeking faster recovery and reduced hospital stay
✅ Early intervention prevents complications like pulmonary hypertension, heart failure, or stroke later in life.
-
You are admitted and given local or general anesthesia, depending on age and condition
-
A thin catheter is inserted through the leg vein and guided to the heart
-
The closure device is deployed across the hole to block abnormal blood flow
-
The device is checked for proper position using ECHO and fluoroscopy
-
The catheter is removed, and the procedure is completed in 60–90 minutes
-
You’ll stay in the hospital for 1–2 days, followed by regular follow-ups
🧒 In most cases, children can return to normal activities within a week.
