A member asked:
What to do if i have pda (patent ductus arteriosus) and need it closed to join the british army, how long will it take ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Check local sources: A discussion with your local PCP can provide you a list of local sources for this procedure. After evaluation by a local cardiologist, they can determine whether this could be closed through a catheter procedure or require an open surgical approach. Most towns with a heart program can handle such procedures.Recovery is relatively quick.
