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

The American Heart Association (AHA) explains that the ductus arteriosus is a normal blood vessel before birth that usually 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, usually in the leg, and placed in the ductus.

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

Fit-to-fly window: the NHS Golden Jubilee leaflet advises at least 6 weeks before flying after ASD device closure; the cardiologist sets timing for other devices.

A Delhi estimate for PDA device closure is usually built from these parts:

• Tests before the procedure: blood tests, ECG and earlier scans.
• Specialist grade: interventional consultant fees.
• Baby: size and age.
• Device: type and size.
• Catheter lab: and anaesthesia.
• Follow-up: echocardiograms.

Check whether the Delhi quote covers the closure device, the catheter lab, anaesthesia, the stay and follow-up scans.

Catheter laboratories are widespread across Delhi NCR's private cardiac centres, and an interventional cardiology team usually works alongside cardiac surgeons on the same campus in case surgery is needed.

India's national hospital standard is set by the National Accreditation Board for Hospitals & Healthcare Providers (NABH), a constituent board of the Quality Council of India whose standards are accredited by ISQua; you can check a Delhi hospital's current NABH status on the NABH website.

Delhi has a long record with international accreditation: India's first hospital to receive Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation, in July 2005, is in New Delhi, and JCI keeps a public list of accredited organisations.

Private hospitals and nursing homes in Delhi must hold a registration from the Delhi government under the Delhi Nursing Homes Registration Act, 1953, so you can ask a hospital for its current registration certificate.
