Non-Surgical Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) Closure for Premature Babies
Recent innovations in pediatric cardiology allow interventional cardiologists to perform patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) closure on premature infants and babies through cardiac catheterization instead of open heart surgery. Using the Piccolo device from Abbott Labs, recently approved by the FDA, we can offer families a less invasive treatment than PDA closure surgery. Children’s Hospital Colorado is the only hospital in the region performing this cutting edge procedure. Gareth Morgan, MD, Medical Director of the Cardiac Catheterization Program, discusses the advantages of this new procedure, referral guidelines for neonatologists and what the experience is like for patients and families.

My grandson is being transferred to Minneapolis children's hospital to have his large pda fixed. Wish they have this device
My baby was born on march 10/2022 with 22 weeks a very small and premature baby weighting 1 pound and 5 onz. He was also burn with a problem in his skin but thanks to Dr. George M Varkarakis my babe skin has been healed. Today April 12/2022 he was taken to the PDA plug procedure and It was a success thanks to the Dra. Prieto and her team at the Nicklaus Children's Hospital in Coral gable,FL. But also I want to thanks Dr. Eduardo Valdez from Mercy Hospital in Miami, and Dr. Bello from Baptist Hopistal in kendall, FL they did a wonderful job helping my wife with support and helping her to give a successfully birth. All glory to the Almighty God 🙏🏼 🙌🏼
