What is the best treatment for patent ductus arteriosus and an asd hole?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends: Both patent ductus arteriosus (pda) and atrial septal defect (ASD) can be closed at heart catheterization with closure devices. Another option is surgical closure. The best treatment depends on the size of the defects, the size of the patient, and in asd, the location in the atrial septum. Both surgery and cath closure have good early success and good long-term outcomes.
