A doctor has provided 1 answer

PDA Age Dependent?: Pda closure (age dependent) babies and adults can have their pdas closed in the cath lab if needed... "hemodynamically significant" cath lab closure, using a coil or device. Many different types and sizes of coils are available, delivered from a small catheter which is inserted in the femoral artery or vein. Another option for large pdas is an aga PDA device or vascular plug. Safe and effective.
