Overview

Device Closure Surgery ASD, VSD, PDA

ASD, VSD, and PDA are congenital heart defects typically found in children but can also be detected for the first time in adults.

Dr. Amit Gupta, a qualified cardiologist based in Jaipur, Rajasthan, boasts over 10 years of experience in treating various heart conditions. Specializing in procedures such as device closure of ASD, VSD, and PDA, as well as IVC filter implantation, Dr. Amit Gupta operates from his cardiology clinic in Jaipur, where he addresses a range of heart defects using advanced techniques. In the past, surgical intervention was the norm for correcting such defects. However, with medical progress, cardiologists now employ catheter procedures to close these defects without the need for major open-heart surgery—a method known as device closure. Before delving into the device closure process, it’s essential to understand the nature of heart defects such as ASD, VSD, and PDA.

What are ASD and VSD?

Atrial septal defect (ASD) and ventricular septal defect (VSD) are congenital heart abnormalities, meaning they are present from birth. These defects involve abnormal openings in the heart that fail to close either during development or after birth.

What is PDA?

Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is an irregular connection between two major arteries of the heart: the aorta and the pulmonary artery. Depending on the size of this opening, these conditions can go unnoticed for many years or even decades. However, in certain cases, they can exert strain on the heart and lead to symptoms such as shortness of breath, stroke, or abnormal enlargement of the heart.

All of these defects facilitate the passage of blood from the left side of the heart to the right side, which is abnormal and increases the workload on the heart.

What is the Device Closure Procedure?

The device closure procedure, known as transcatheter closure, is utilized as a reparative surgery, primarily for closing repairable holes. However, it’s important to note that this isn’t the sole method for closing such openings. In comparison to other surgical options, this procedure is less invasive.

About Doctor

Why is a Cardiac Closure Device Utilized?

Correcting Irregular Heart Openings: A primary function of a cardiac closure device is to repair abnormal openings in the heart, particularly atrial septal defects (ASDs). These defects, commonly associated with congenital heart conditions, create a hole in the septum, the dividing wall between the heart’s upper chambers. This hole allows oxygen-rich blood to mix with oxygen-poor blood, disrupting the heart’s normal function.

Restoring Natural Blood Circulation: By employing a cardiac closure device, medical professionals can restore the heart’s typical blood circulation pattern. This ensures that oxygen-rich and oxygen-poor blood remain separated, essential for preserving the heart’s overall health and functionality.

Minimizing Long-Term Complications: Utilizing a cardiac closure device helps reduce the risk of enduring heart and lung complications stemming from untreated ASDs. These complications may include heart enlargement, irregular heart rhythms, and pulmonary hypertension.

How is it Performed?

Dr. Amit Gupta specializes in conducting the device closure procedure. Prior to commencing the surgery, the patient receives intravenous (IV) medications after which leads are attached to their chest for an electrocardiogram (ECG).

The patient’s groin/arm area is cleansed, and a thin plastic tube known as a catheter is inserted through that area. During this process, the patient is administered sedatives for relaxation and local anesthesia, but remains awake and conscious throughout the procedure.

Once the size of the hole is determined, a specialized catheter is inserted into the arteries, carrying a small metallic mesh-like closure device.

This device is carefully positioned in the hole and then released from the catheter. Subsequently, the catheter is removed, allowing heart tissue to gradually grow around the closure device, incorporating it as a natural part of the heart.

What are the Benefits of an ASD Closure Device?

What are the Benefits of an ASD Closure Device?

Gentle Approach: One of the primary advantages lies in the gentle nature of the procedure. Unlike open-heart surgery, it involves smaller incisions, resulting in less discomfort and a quicker recovery.
Reduced Hospital Stay: Patients typically experience shorter hospital stays when opting for ASD closure with a device. Many can return home within a day or two following the procedure.
Lower Risks: Minimally invasive methods like ASD closure carry fewer risks and complications compared to traditional open-heart surgery. This makes it a safer option, especially for older adults and those with other medical conditions.
Speedy Recovery: Recovery after ASD closure is generally swift. Most patients can resume their normal activities and return to work within days or a few weeks.
Improved Aesthetics: Closure devices result in smaller incisions and minimal scarring, offering an aesthetic advantage. With less visible scarring, patients can enjoy a more cosmetically pleasing outcome compared to open-heart surgery.
Effective Closure: ASD closure devices provide an efficient and long-lasting solution for sealing the defect, preventing the improper mixing of blood and restoring proper heart function.

    FAQ

    Device closure of ASD (Atrial Septal Defect), VSD (Ventricular Septal Defect), and PDA (Patent Ductus Arteriosus) involves using a special device to seal the abnormal opening or hole in the heart wall. During the procedure, a catheter is inserted into a blood vessel, guided to the heart, and the device is placed over the defect. Over time, the tissue grows around the device, permanently closing the hole.

    Suitable candidates for device closure are typically individuals with small to moderate-sized defects in the heart wall who are experiencing symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, or recurrent respiratory infections. Candidates are evaluated by cardiologists to determine if they are appropriate candidates based on the size, location, and type of defect, as well as overall health status.

    While device closure procedures are generally safe, there are potential risks and complications, including but not limited to infection, bleeding, damage to surrounding structures, arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats), device migration, and allergic reactions to anesthesia or the device materials. Additionally, there is a small risk of stroke or heart attack during the procedure.

    Recovery time can vary depending on factors such as the individual’s overall health, the size and location of the defect, and any complications during the procedure. In general, most patients can expect to stay in the hospital for a day or two after the procedure for monitoring. Full recovery typically takes a few days to a few weeks, during which time patients may need to avoid strenuous activities.

    Following device closure, patients are often advised to adopt a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise and a balanced diet, to promote heart health. In some cases, patients may need to take antibiotics before certain dental or surgical procedures to prevent infection of the device. Regular follow-up appointments with cardiologists are also recommended to monitor progress and detect any potential issues early.

    The success rate of device closure procedures for ASD, VSD, and PDA is generally high, with the majority of patients experiencing significant improvement in symptoms and closure of the defect. However, success rates can vary depending on factors such as the size and location of the defect, the skill of the medical team, and the presence of any underlying health conditions. Overall, the success rate is typically reported to be greater than 95%.
