PDA Device Closure Cost in Gurgaon, India

The cost of PDA device closure in Gurgaon typically ranges from $620 to $6,000 USD (about ₹58,800 to ₹5.69 lakh), depending on the hospital, room category and type of procedure.

A typical estimate for PDA device closure in Gurgaon is around $2,000 (about ₹1.90 lakh). What you pay depends mainly on your own case. If the procedure is planned and you go home the same day or the next morning, your bill is likely to be closer to $620 (about ₹58,800). It is likely to be nearer $6,000 (about ₹5.69 lakh) if the arteries are harder to treat, extra stents or devices are needed, or you stay longer.

When comparing Gurgaon packages for PDA device closure, check whether each quote includes:

• Surgeon and anaesthetist fees
• Operating theatre or procedure room
• Stents, balloons or closure devices
• Hospital stay and room category
• Medicines and consumables
• Follow-up visits before you fly home

PDA device closure seals a patent ductus arteriosus, a blood vessel that usually closes after birth, by placing a small device through a catheter instead of by open surgery.

The American Heart Association (AHA) says that the ductus arteriosus is a normal blood vessel before birth that normally closes soon afterwards, and if it stays open, extra blood flows to the lungs; it is more common in premature babies.

Small PDAs may close by themselves, medicines may help in premature babies, and surgery to tie or clip the vessel is another option.

In device closure a device is guided through a blood vessel, normally in the leg, and placed in the ductus.

Recovery is normally quick and many children go home within a day or so, and the AHA reports a very good outlook after closure.

Flying home: after closure of an atrial septal defect, the NHS Golden Jubilee leaflet asks patients to wait six weeks or more before a flight, and for other devices the cardiologist decides.

A Gurgaon quote for PDA device closure is normally made up of these items:

• Tests beforehand: bloods, an ECG and a review of earlier imaging.
• Interventional consultant: whose fee differs between hospitals.
• Baby: size and age.
• Device: type and size.
• Catheter lab: and anaesthesia.
• Follow-up: echocardiograms.

Confirm whether the Gurgaon estimate includes the closure device, the catheter lab, anaesthesia, the stay and follow-up scans.

Many of Gurgaon's multi-speciality hospitals run catheter laboratories with cardiac surgeons on the same site, which matters if a catheter procedure needs to be converted to surgery.

NABH, the hospital accreditation board of the Quality Council of India whose standards carry ISQua accreditation, sets the national benchmark for hospitals, and its online directory shows whether a Gurgaon hospital's accreditation is still current.

Gurgaon is part of Delhi NCR, where India's first hospital to gain Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation did so in 2005, and JCI publishes a searchable list of the organisations it currently accredits.

Gurgaon was officially renamed Gurugram by the Haryana government in 2016, so hospital letters, maps and taxi apps may use either name.
