About PDA Closure - Off Pump/On Pump

PDA (Patent Ductus Arteriosus) closure is a pediatric cardiac surgery performed to correct a persistent opening between the aorta and pulmonary artery, a condition that normally closes shortly after birth. The procedure can be performed 'off-pump' (without using a heart-lung bypass machine) or 'on-pump' (with cardiopulmonary bypass), depending on the child's size, anatomy, and the surgeon's approach. Off-pump closure is often a minimally invasive option, while on-pump allows for a more controlled environment for complex cases. This life-saving surgery restores normal blood flow, prevents complications like heart failure and pulmonary hypertension, and allows the child to lead a healthy, active life. It is a cornerstone procedure in congenital heart defect correction.

Key Highlights

    Corrects a common congenital heart defect to restore normal circulation.Off-pump technique minimizes surgical trauma and can lead to faster recovery.Prevents long-term complications such as heart failure, pulmonary hypertension, and infective endocarditis.Highly successful procedure with excellent long-term outcomes for children.Tailored surgical approach (off-pump vs. on-pump) based on individual patient anatomy and needs.

Who is this surgery for?

  • Persistent, hemodynamically significant PDA in an infant or child causing symptoms like poor feeding, failure to thrive, or rapid breathing.
  • Large PDA size that is unlikely to close spontaneously with medication.
  • Evidence of left heart enlargement or pulmonary overcirculation on echocardiogram.
  • Risk or presence of complications like recurrent lung infections, heart failure, or pulmonary vascular disease.
  • Failed attempt at non-surgical, catheter-based device closure.

How to prepare

  • Comprehensive diagnostic workup including echocardiogram, chest X-ray, and possibly cardiac catheterization.
  • Pre-operative blood tests and a thorough physical examination by the pediatric cardiologist and cardiac surgeon.
  • Discussion of the surgical plan (off-pump vs. on-pump), risks, and benefits with the family.
  • Fasting for a specified period (typically 6-8 hours for solids) before the surgery as instructed.
  • Management of any active infections and optimization of the child's overall health status.

Risks & possible complications

  • Bleeding, infection, or adverse reaction to anesthesia.
  • Injury to nearby structures like the recurrent laryngeal nerve (affecting voice) or the phrenic nerve (affecting diaphragm).
  • Residual leak or re-opening of the PDA post-closure.
  • Risks specific to on-pump surgery: complications from cardiopulmonary bypass, such as systemic inflammatory response.
  • Arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats) during or after the procedure.
  • Very rare risk of stroke or damage to the heart or lungs.

Recovery & hospital stay

  • Initial recovery in the Pediatric Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (PCICU) for close monitoring of heart function, breathing, and vital signs.
  • Pain management with appropriate medications to keep the child comfortable.
  • Gradual introduction of feeding and fluids as the child recovers.
  • Incision care instructions to prevent infection and promote healing.
  • Follow-up appointments with the pediatric cardiologist for echocardiograms to confirm successful closure.
  • Guidance on activity restrictions, typically avoiding strenuous play and contact sports for several weeks.
  • checked Typical hospital stay: 5-10 days
  • checked Expected recovery time: 3-6 weeks
