HEART DEFECTS
Congenital heart defects are the most common type of birth defect. Defects that involve the wall or vessels of the heart include atrial septal defect (ASD), ventricular septal defect (VSD), and patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). In certain situations, guidelines recommend surgery or transcatheter device closure to repair the defect and prevent complications.1
Designed for flexibility, our innovative duct occluder options conform to a variety of duct sizes while achieving complete patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) closure from a pulmonary or aortic approach.
