How Transcatheter PDA Closure is performed
Devices such as embolization coils or occluders can be selected. A pathway is usually established through the femoral blood vessels, and a guide wire is passed through the ductus arteriosus under fluoroscopy and ultrasound guidance. After trial placement, the position and residual shunt are evaluated, and then released, and changes in blood flow and pressure are reviewed. Postoperative early monitoring of cardiopulmonary status and puncture site aims to block abnormal shunts and maintain stable circulation. The above is general health information, not medical advice; the specific situation is subject to specialist evaluation and hospital plan.
