A member asked:

How do you treat a patent ductus arteriosus and tricuspid valve leak?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

PDA: Treatment for the patent ductus arteriosus is closure of the ductus, this can be done in a variety of ways including meds, surgery and embolization. Usually the closure of the ductus will minimize the tricuspid valve leak so no other treatment is needed.
