Patent Ductus Arteriosus, PDA Closure Devices Manufacturers

Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) is a heart problem that occurs soon after birth in some babies. A PDA is a type of congenital heart defect. The symptom includes shortness of breath & cardiac arrhythmia and progress to congestive heart failure if left uncorrected. A patent ductus arteriosus allows oxygenated blood to flow down its pressure gradient from the aorta to the pulmonary arteries. Patent ductus arteriosus is the persistence of a normal fetal structure between the left pulmonary artery and the descending aorta. It is an abnormal opening between two major blood vessels, the aorta and the pulmonary artery.
