Device Closure

Minimally Invasive Solution for Congenital Heart Defects

Device Closure is a modern, non-surgical procedure used to treat certain congenital heart defects, such as Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) and Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA). These conditions involve abnormal openings in the heart that can lead to inefficient blood circulation and long-term complications if left untreated.

At Metro Hospital & Heart Institute, Meerut, Dr. Sanjeev Saxena, a leading interventional cardiologist with over 30 years of experience, performs device closure procedures with precision and safety using catheter-based techniques.

Common Defects Treated:

• Atrial Septal Defect (ASD): A hole between the heart's upper chambers.
• Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA): A persistent connection between the aorta and pulmonary artery after birth.

How the Procedure Works:

• Performed via a catheter inserted through a vein, usually in the groin.
• A specially designed closure device is placed across the defect to seal it.
• The device becomes embedded in the heart tissue over time, permanently closing the hole.
• No open-heart surgery is needed, and recovery is quick.

Advantages of Device Closure:

• Minimally invasive with no major surgical scars
• Short hospital stay and faster recovery
• Lower risk of complications
• High success rate with long-term effectiveness
