ASD / VSD / PDA Device Closure

ASD / VSD / PDA Device Closure

ASD, VSD, and PDA Device Closure is a minimally invasive procedure used to correct common congenital heart defects: Atrial Septal Defect (ASD), Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD), and Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA). These defects are openings in the heart walls or vessels that allow abnormal blood flow, which can cause fatigue, breathlessness, or heart enlargement over time. Device closure safely seals these openings without open-heart surgery. Dr. Vaibhav Shukla performs these procedures with advanced expertise, ensuring safety, precision, and fast recovery.

Symptoms That May Require Device Closure

Patients may be advised for device closure if they experience:

• Fatigue or tiredness during daily activities

• Shortness of breath, especially on exertion

• Palpitations or irregular heartbeats

• Frequent respiratory infections in children

• Signs of heart enlargement or murmurs detected on examination
  Early closure prevents long-term complications and supports normal heart function.

Treatment and Process

Device closure is performed using a catheter inserted through a vein, typically in the leg. Guided by imaging, a small closure device is delivered to the defect and deployed to seal the opening. The device becomes a permanent part of the heart, allowing normal blood flow. The procedure is minimally invasive, usually takes 30–60 minutes, and most patients can resume normal activities within a few days. Dr. Vaibhav Shukla ensures precise placement and continuous monitoring for a safe and effective outcome.
