Hi doctor,
Our doctor said that my baby has a hole in the heart. I have attached the reports for your reference. Please explain.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
- Yes, there is patent ductus arteriosus that is shunting from left to right (attachment removed to protect patient identity). As it is large, go for its closure.
- Consult any pediatric cardiologist or even same doctors who have done echo may be doing the closure.
- Medicines cannot close this. If it is not closed now, then it may create problem later.
For further information consult a cardiologist online -->https://www.icliniq.com/ask-a-doctor-online/cardiologist
Thank you doctor,
Please explain its effect on general health. Is it risky to operate?
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
- Effects and symptoms will occur when shunt will reverse from right to left.
- It can be closed by the simple procedure like an angiogram (through an artery of the wrist or thigh).
