Dr. Siddarth Dagli specializes in advanced transcatheter procedures for congenital and structural heart defects, allowing treatment through the groin without the need for open-heart surgery. These minimally invasive techniques offer faster recovery, less pain, and reduced hospital stays.

Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) Closure

An ASD is a hole between the heart’s upper chambers (atria), leading to abnormal blood flow. Using a catheter-based approach, a closure device is delivered through the groin to seal the defect, restoring normal circulation.

Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) Closure

A VSD is a hole between the lower chambers (ventricles), causing excessive blood flow to the lungs. A small occluder device is placed via catheterization, preventing complications like heart failure and lung congestion.

Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) Closure

PDA is an abnormal connection between the aorta and pulmonary artery, common in newborns. A coil or occluder device is inserted through the groin to close the duct, preventing excessive blood flow to the lungs.

Mitral Valve Repair via Transcatheter Approach

Mitral valve disease can lead to regurgitation (leakage) or stenosis (narrowing). Using a transcatheter technique, the MitraClip or balloon valvuloplasty is performed through the groin, improving valve function without the need for open-heart surgery.

Benefits of Groin-Based Cardiac Procedures

  • No chest incisions, reducing recovery time and complications

  • Shorter hospital stay and quicker return to normal activities

  • Effective treatment with minimal discomfort
