How Transcatheter Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) Closure is performed
Under image guidance, access the cardiovascular system through peripheral blood vessels, and evaluate the morphology of the ductus arteriosus with angiography and ultrasound. Based on the diameter and length, an occluder or coil can be selected, and after positioning, it is gradually released and the position and residual shunt are checked. X-rays and ultrasound are used for monitoring during the procedure. Postoperative observation of circulation and puncture site, and echocardiography is rechecked, with the goal of closing the shunt and reducing cardiopulmonary load. The above is general health information and not medical advice; the specific plan is subject to specialist evaluation and hospital plan.
