Advanced Device Closure for Congenital Heart Defects

A hole in the heart sounds scary but today, it can be treated without open surgery. Device Closure is a minimally invasive procedure that seals congenital heart defects like ASD, VSD, and PDA using a small specially designed device guided through a catheter.

At Dr. Waseem’s Heart Care, Bangalore, Dr. Waseem Nadaf provides expert device closure treatment for patients of all ages from infants to adults helping them achieve healthy heart function with minimal discomfort and quick recovery.

What is Device Closure & How Does it Work?

Device Closure uses a thin catheter inserted through a vein to guide a small closure device directly to the heart defect. Once in place, the device seals the hole permanently and over time, natural heart tissue grows over it, restoring normal blood flow without any surgical incision.

This approach treats three common congenital heart defects:

Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) – A hole between the two upper heart chambers causing abnormal blood flow between them.

Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) – A hole between the two lower heart chambers allowing blood to mix abnormally.

Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) – An abnormal connection between the aorta and pulmonary artery that fails to close naturally after birth.

Signs & Symptoms That May Indicate a Congenital Heart Defect

Some heart defects are detected at birth, while others show symptoms later in life. Consult Dr. Waseem Nadaf if you or your child experiences:
  • Shortness of breath during feeding, activity, or rest
  • Frequent respiratory infections or chest congestion
  • Poor weight gain or slow growth in infants
  • Fatigue or weakness during physical activity
  • Heart palpitations or irregular heartbeat
  • Swelling in the legs or feet
  • Abnormal heart murmur detected during a check-up
  • Diagnosed heart defect on echocardiogram
Early diagnosis and timely treatment can prevent long-term cardiac complications and ensure a healthy, active life.

Benefits of Device Closure

  • Safe and effective for both children and adults
