Non Surgical closure of Heart Defects
Patients with a hole in their heart, whether Atrial septal defect, small ventricular septal defect or Patent ductus Arteriosus can be closed effectively by Button or Amplatzer's device or Coils. A young boy of four years having Patent ductus Atreriosus was taken for non surgical repair. Patent ductus was 4mm in diameter and was closed by coils by a modified arterial and venous approach. The abnormal communication was sealed off by placing three coils. The patient was discharged with no complications within three days. His progress is satisfactory after three years of this procedure.
