Device Closure Procedures

Welcome to Dr. Krishna Dhoot’s Medical Clinic, your premier destination for advanced cardiac care. Device closure procedures are innovative techniques offered at our clinic to treat certain congenital heart defects and structural abnormalities. Our experienced team is dedicated to providing personalized care and exceptional outcomes for our patients.

What is Device Closure?

Device closure is a minimally invasive procedure used to repair certain congenital heart defects and structural abnormalities without the need for open-heart surgery. It involves the placement of a specialized device or closure device through a catheter, which is guided to the heart to close abnormal openings or defects.

Why is Device Closure Important?

Device closure procedures are crucial for:
Treating Congenital Heart Defects: Addresses structural abnormalities present from birth, such as atrial septal defects (ASDs), ventricular septal defects (VSDs), and patent foramen ovale (PFO).
Preventing Complications: Closes abnormal openings or defects to prevent complications such as heart failure, stroke, or arrhythmias.
Improving Quality of Life: Alleviates symptoms associated with congenital heart defects, such as fatigue, shortness of breath, and recurrent infections.
Minimally Invasive: Offers a less invasive alternative to traditional open-heart surgery, with shorter recovery times and fewer complications.

Common Device Closure Procedures:

Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) Closure:
ASD closure involves sealing the abnormal opening between the atria (upper chambers of the heart) using a closure device, such as an ASD occluder or septal occluder.
Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) Closure:
VSD closure aims to close the hole between the ventricles (lower chambers of the heart) using a VSD occluder or patch, restoring normal blood flow and preventing complications.
Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) Closure:
PFO closure involves sealing the flap-like opening between the atria that failed to close after birth, reducing the risk of paradoxical embolism (clots passing from the venous to arterial circulation).

How are Device Closure Procedures Performed?

The device closure procedure involves several key steps:
Preparation: You will receive anesthesia to ensure your comfort during the procedure. The insertion site (usually the groin) is cleaned and numbed.
Catheter Insertion: A thin, flexible tube (catheter) is inserted into a blood vessel and guided to the heart under X-ray guidance.
Device Placement: The closure device is advanced through the catheter to the defect site and deployed to close the abnormal opening.
Confirmation: The position and function of the closure device are confirmed using imaging techniques, such as echocardiography or fluoroscopy.
Closure: The catheter is removed, and the insertion site is closed. You will be monitored closely for a brief period before being transferred to recovery.

Who Should Consider Device Closure?

Device closure may be recommended for individuals with:
Congenital heart defects, such as ASDs, VSDs, or PFOs, diagnosed during childhood or adulthood.
Symptoms related to the congenital heart defect, such as shortness of breath, fatigue, or recurrent respiratory infections.
Increased risk of complications associated with the untreated congenital heart defect, such as stroke or heart failure.
