Abstract

Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) is a common form of congenital heart disease and forms about 5-10% of congenital heart disease. Device closure of a PDA is described here.

Background

Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) is a common form of congenital heart defect with an incidence of one in 2500 to 5000 live births. The presence of volume over loading of the left atrium and left ventricle is indication for closure of the defect. The risk of endocarditis, aneurysm of PDA or pulmonary vascular disease are also indications for closure. Closure eliminates left to right shunting volume over load of the left side circulation and the risk for pulmonary hypertension and endocarditis.

Surgical closure of PDA is safe and effective. However certain patients may experience some morbidity including bleeding, inadvertent left pulmonary artery ligation, recurrent laryngeal nerve damage and residual shunting.

Case Preasentation

Two months back patient attended the Congenital Heart Disease detection camp at school and was diagnosed with a heart problem. Family brought the patient for PDA device closure plan.
