Abstract
Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is a common congenital heart disease affecting roughly one in every 2,000 term births. Although most of the patients are diagnosed and treated during childhood, few cases may persist into adulthood. We presented a 27-year-old male patient with a 20.2 mm diameter PDA who was referred to our hospital with progressive fatigue and exertional dyspnea. Given the potential complications, usual techniques such as coil occlusion and duct occluders were deemed inappropriate for this patient. Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) using a non-touch exclusion technique was successfully performed for this patient. The patient was discharged with no major post-surgical complications. TEVAR could be a new, safe, and effective alternative treatment to other transcatheter procedures for complicated PDAs in some patients.

A Challenging Interventional Procedure: Transcatheter Closure of Tubular Patent Ductus Arteriosus in Patients with Pulmonary Hypertension. Pediatr Cardiol 2023:10.1007/s00246-023-03240-8. [PMID: 37474608 DOI: 10.1007/s00246-023-03240-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/09/2023] [Accepted: 07/11/2023] [Indexed: 07/22/2023]
Abstract
Transcatheter closure of the tubular ducts remains the most challenging procedure, with higher complication rates than other types. This study evaluates the characteristics of transcatheter closure of tubular ducts with pulmonary hypertension. 73 patients with tubular ducts who underwent cardiac catheterization for transcatheter PDA closure were analyzed. The mean age and weight were 1.93 ± 2.68 years and 8.83 ± 6.14 kg, respectively. Transcatheter closure was attempted in 72 patients. Four cases (5.5%) were referred to surgery, while the procedure was completed in the remaining (94.5%). Amplatzer duct occluder (ADO) I or Cardiofix duct occluder (CDO) was the most commonly used devices. However, the use of Amplatzer vascular plug (AVP) II raised in recent years. The most common concern was aortic protrusion/stenosis in ADO I/CDO devices, but most regressed during follow-up. Iatrogenic coarctation of the aorta was observed in two with ADO I/CDO. Embolization of the device to the pulmonary artery was observed in three with CDO, AVP II, and AVP I. Significant left pulmonary artery stenosis requiring stenting developed in one after closure with an MVSDO device. Tubular ducts are highly associated with pulmonary arterial hypertension, and transcatheter closure of them is still challenging despite the developing device armamentarium. Although ADO I or similar devices are widely used, off-label devices are usually needed at increasing rates. The AVP II device is unsuitable for short tubular ducts but seems the best option for long ones.

Abstract
Purpose Evaluate Piccolo and ADOII devices for transcatheter patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) closure. Piccolo has smaller retention discs reducing risk of flow disturbance but residual leak and embolization risk may increase. Methods Retrospective review of all patients undergoing PDA closure with an Amplatzer device between January 2008 and April 2022 in our institution. Data from the procedure and 6 months follow-up were collected. Results 762 patients, median age 2.6 years (range 0-46.7) years and median weight 13 kg (range 3.5-92) were referred for PDA closure. Overall, 758 (99.5%) had successful implantation: 296 (38.8%) with ADOII, 418 (54.8%) with Piccolo, and 44 (5.8%) with AVPII. The ADOII patients were smaller than the Piccolo patients (15.8 vs. 20.5 kg, p < 0.001) and with larger PDA diameters (2.3 vs. 1.9 mm, p < 0.001). Mean device diameter was similar for both groups. Closure rate at follow-up was similar for all devices ADOII 295/296 (99.6%), Piccolo 417/418 (99.7%), and AVPII 44/44 (100%). Four intraprocedural embolizations occurred during the study time period: two ADOII and two Piccolo. Following retrieval the PDA was closed with an AVPII in two cases, ADOI in one case and with surgery in the fourth case. Mild stenosis of the left pulmonary artery (LPA) occurred in three patients with ADOII devices (1%) and one patient with Piccolo device (0.2%). Severe LPA stenosis occurred in one patient with ADOII (0.3%) and one with AVPII device (2.2%). Conclusions ADOII and Piccolo are safe and effective for PDA closure with a tendency to less LPA stenosis with Piccolo. There were no cases of aortic coarctation related to a PDA device in this study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is one of the most common acyanotic congenital heart diseases. The incidence of PDA is approximately 1 in 500 full-term neonates. The current management of PDA includes pharmacological and surgical treatments. Transcatheter closure is a preferable PDA treatment than pharmacological intervention, for medications have a higher failure rate in premature infants. Several studies have reported the efficacy and safety of transcatheter closure in smaller and lower-weight infants.
AIM: This study aims to describe the outcomes of transcatheter closure of PDA, which are complete closure, migrating device, and residuals, while also investigating factors that might affect these outcomes.
METHODS: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted from January to March 2018 in the pediatric cardiology outpatient clinic of Haji Adam Malik Hospital, Medan, Indonesia. All PDA patients who underwent transcatheter closure were included in this study. We collected patients’ demographic data (age and sex), PDA size (categorize into large, moderate, and small), and PDA closure outcomes from medical records. The collected data were then analyzed with SPSS.
RESULTS: One hundred and two children were included in this study, comprised 34 (33.3%) males and 68 (66.7%) females, with a mean age of 4.3 (±4.02) years old and the mean size of the defects 4.4 (±2.25) mm. Transcatheter closure with Lifetech® PDA Occluder was performed in 95 (93.1%) and MFO® in 7 (6.9%) patients. Small residuals were found in three patients, device migration was found in one patient. No relationship was found between the size of PDA and the outcomes measured.
CONCLUSION: We concluded that transcatheter closure remains an effective treatment for PDA, with a considerable success rate.

Intracardiac Echocardiography as a Guide for Transcatheter Closure of Patent Ductus Arteriosus. J Interv Cardiol 2020; 2020:5147193. [PMID: 32802008 PMCID: PMC7414339 DOI: 10.1155/2020/5147193] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/20/2020] [Revised: 06/17/2020] [Accepted: 06/25/2020] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Transcatheter closure of patent ductus arteriosus (TC-PDA), conventionally guided by aortography, has become the standard treatment of this disease. The purposes of this study were to evaluate whether intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) may be used for measuring PDA size and be used as a guide for TC-PDA. Methods This study had 2 phases. In phase 1, we compared the measurements of PDA size: pulmonary artery side diameter (PA-D), length, and aortic side diameter (Ao-D) of PDA, as measured by ICE with those measured by aortography or cardiac computed tomography (AoG/CCT) in 23 patients who underwent TC-PDA. In phase 2, we compared the demographics, fluoroscopic time, contrast volume, and complications of the TC-PDAs between 10 adult patients with ICE guidance and 16 without it. Results In phase 1, we found great correlation and agreement between ICE and AoG/CCT in PA-D (r = 0.985, bias −0.077 to 0.224), but moderate to poor correlation and agreement in length (r = 0.653, bias −0.491 to 3.065) and Ao-D (r = 0.704, bias 0.738 to 4.732), respectively. Nevertheless, all patients underwent successful TC-PDA with ICE guidance that allowed us to continuously monitor the whole process. In phase 2, TC-PDA required a significantly lower contrast volume with ICE guidance than without it, and there was no significant difference in the remaining variables between the 2 groups. Conclusion ICE is comparable to AoG/CCT in providing accurate PA-D of the PDA and may be a safe alternative to guide TC-PDA as compared to conventional aortography.

Abstract
Background The pfm Nit-Occlud® patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) device is well established for interventional closure of PDA. However, there are still limited data concerning its efficacy and follow-up in larger patient groups. Aims This study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Nit-Occlud® PDA device, implanted both through transpulmonary and transaortic approach, in a large cohort. Methods From July 2008 to December 2015, 268 consecutive patients were admitted for transcatheter closure of a PDA and were treated with the Nit-Occlud® coil. Clinical, echocardiographic, and angiographic data were evaluated. Results The median age was 5.2 years (range, 5 months to 62 years), and the median weight was 19.3 kg (range: 5.5-97 kg). Ten (3.7%) patients had weight <10 kg. The most common ductus types treated were Krichenko Type E and A (44.0% and 33.2%, respectively). Twelve (4.5%) patients were treated for residual shunting after surgical PDA closure. The median diameter at the narrowest point was 1.5 mm (range: 0.4-4 mm), the median size of the ampulla was 5 mm (range: 1-15 mm), and the median length was 9 mm (range: 2-25 mm). Device implantation could be successfully achieved in all cases. Closure rates documented immediately after the procedure, at 3-10 days, 1 month, and 6 months after intervention were 62%, 95.1%, 97.8%, and 98.5%, respectively. With the exception of one minor thromboembolic event, there were no procedure-related complications. Conclusion Closure of PDA with various anatomic variations and sizes can be performed effectively and safely using the Nit-Occlud® coil.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Residual patent ductus arteriosus (rPDAs) can occur following surgical or transcatheter treatment, and are indicated for closure because of the risks of infective endarteritis and hemolysis in addition to the hemodynamic effect of the residual left-to-right shunt. METHODS This retrospective descriptive study describes our experience at two Egyptian centers (Cairo University Children's Hospital & Tanta University Hospital) with transcatheter treatment of rPDAs, from January 2009 to October 2017. RESULTS Twenty cases were treated: 17/20 postsurgical and 3/20 post-transcatheter, at a mean period of 13.4 ± 9.3 months from the initial procedure. The median rPDA size was 2 mm (range2-3.5 mm). Most common ductal anatomy was the conical shape. All rPDAs were successfully closed with either coils (13/20) or devices (6/20), except one case where the residual flow was within the device mesh material. Coils could be deployed from the antegrade or the retrograde approaches although the latter was associated with a higher incidence of late shunt occlusion. One case with a malpositioned device required simultaneous device and LPA stent deployment. CONCLUSION Transcatheter closure of rPDAs is feasible in most cases, but may be technically challenging.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Methods of closing patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) have evolved over time. We review this development in our setting. METHODS This was a retrospective analysis of children who had transcatheter PDA closure at Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital between 1993 and 2008. RESULTS Over 15 years, 1 254 PDAs were diagnosed, of which 293 required intervention; 139 patients had transcatheter closure, the median age was 1.8 years (interquartile range = 1-4.5 years) and 66% were female (92/139). Mean PDA diameter was 3.2 mm (standard deviation = 1.6 mm), with an average 2:1 shunt. Transcatheter closure was performed using COOK® Flipper coils (n = 93) or Amplatzer™ devices (n = 46). Early occlusion rates for coils were 52% (39/75) and late occlusion occurred in 91% (68/75) of patients. For Amplatzer devices, early occlusion rates were 94% (33/35) and late occlusion was 100%. Amplatzer™ devices, available since 2003, were overwhelmingly used in the later years. CONCLUSIONS Transcatheter PDA closure was safe and effective in this setting, with outcomes similar to reports elsewhere.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The CeraFlexTM PDA occluder is a new flexible device with a unique delivery system that may be beneficial with regard to not changing the device position after releasing. We prospectively evaluate the efficacy of the device and also the device behaviour patterns during release. METHODS The study included 21 patients. Their median age was 1.2 years (from 6 months to 28 years) and weight was 9.6 kg (from 5.4 to 82 kg). All of the ducts were conical except one atypical ductus. Median ductal diameter at the pulmonary end was 3.8 mm (from 2.2 to 8.2 mm). The ductus was closed using an antegrade approach, but special attention was paid to the patterns of device behaviour during and just after releasing. RESULTS Three different modes of device behaviour were observed during and just after releasing: (1) Neither difficulty nor change of position in 13 patients (62%), (2) a little difficulty in releasing but no change of position in 6 (29%), and (3) change of the device position in 2 (9%). There was no residual shunt on the next day except in one patient, in whom late device embolisation occurred. The device was retrieved and another, bigger device implanted. CONCLUSION The CeraFlexTM PDA occlude device seems to be safe and efficacious for patent ductus arteriosus closure. Its unique delivery system generally fixes the device in a stable position that does not change after release (91%). Minor difficulty in releasing is not uncommon; however, the major disadvantage is the need for larger sheaths for delivery.

Abstract
RATIONALE Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) ligation by open surgery is more difficult and dangerous in elderly patients than in infants. Nowadays, simple and safe interventional catheterization technology is used for the closure of uncomplicated isolated PDAs. Therefore, an alternative less invasive therapeutic option must be developed to treat complicated PDA. PATIENT CONCERNS A 53-year-old woman presented with gradually exacerbated dyspnea on effort and continuous cardiac murmurs. DIAGNOSIS Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and contrast-enhanced 3D computed tomography (CT) were performed and revealed a conically shaped large PDA with calcification. INTERVENTIONS We used a nontouch exclusion technique with thoracic endovascular repair (TEVAR) for the treatment of this rare complicated PDA. The patient had an adequate proximal landing zone, and a tapered stent graft (S&G, Bio 34-30 mm × 110 mm, Korea) was used. OUTCOMES Aortography after stent graft implantation revealed complete occlusion of PDA and no endoleaks. The procedure was successful, and the patient showed no vascular or other complications during follow-up. LESSONS TEVAR is a less invasive solution for pathologies of the thoracic aorta, such as aortic dissection or aneurysm. TEVAR is an established, simple, and safe method for repairing the thoracic aorta and can be a new alternative to other transcatheter techniques for complicated PDAs in elderly patients.

Abstract
Background Repeat surgery and the percutaneous approach (transcatheter closure (TCC)) have been used for the management of postoperative left-to-right shunts. In this study, we described our 15 years of experience in treating postoperative left-to-right shunts with these two approaches. Methods From February 2002 to February 2017, 50 patients with residual left-to-right shunts, following cardiac surgery, were treated using TCC or repeat surgery. Clinical examination, standard 12-lead electrocardiography, chest X-ray, and a transthoracic echocardiogram were performed before hospital discharge and at all follow-ups. Results The closure rate was 100% in both groups and there was no procedure-related mortality. Patients with TCC had few complications. The procedure time and duration of hospital stay for TCC patients were 58.9 ± 27.7 min and 6.1 ± 0.8 days, respectively. Eleven out of 19 patients receiving reoperation suffered serious complications after surgery, e.g., bleeding and nosocomial infections. The operation time and duration of hospital stay for reoperation patients were 256.7 ± 60.5 min and 17.0 ± 4.0 days, respectively. No other serious complications were seen at all follow-up visits for both groups. Conclusions In conclusions, TCC is safe and effective for the management of postoperative left-to-right shunts, and is associated with few complications, which can be the favored closure strategy over repeat surgery for the management of postoperative left-to-right shunts.

Abstract
The patient described herein was a 75-year-old female. Echocardiography showed patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). Heart failure symptoms gradually appeared, and she was referred to our department for treatment. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) revealed a tubular structure communicating between the aortic arch and pulmonary artery trunk, suggesting adult PDA. Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) was performed to close PDA. Completion angiography confirmed the disappearance of PDA. Post-TEVAR CT revealed no endoleak. The patient was discharged from the hospital on the 11th day after surgery. TEVAR is more useful and less invasive for adult PDA than conventional open surgery.

Abstract
Background Sometimes, it is difficult to visualize a patent ductus arteriosus and deploy a device in the standard lateral view because of an end-on orientation. The right anterior oblique view may be helpful by separating the ductus arteriosus from the aorta. This study was undertaken to evaluate the incidence of end-on patent ductus arteriosus and the utility of the right anterior oblique view during device closure. Methods Aortography was performed in lateral and right anterior oblique views before, during, and after successful device deployment in 117 consecutive patients. When a ductus arteriosus was not clearly visible in the lateral view due to overlapping by the aorta, it was termed “right anterior oblique view useful”. Results The types of patent ductus arteriosus were A, B, C, and E in 86 (73.5%), 20 (17.1%), 4 (3.4%), and 7 (6.0%) patients, respectively. An end-on ductus arteriosus was present in 24 (20.5%) patients (14 type B, 10 type A). The right anterior oblique view was useful during device closure in 15 (12.8%) cases (all end-on type). Among all cases of end-on patent ductus arteriosus, it was useful in 62.5% (most type B and a few type A). In all of these, the device appeared obliquely oriented and foreshortened in the lateral view but fully profiled in the right anterior oblique view. Conclusions Recognizing an end-on patent ductus arteriosus and utilizing the right anterior oblique view simplified device closure. For ducts well-profiled in the lateral view, the right anterior oblique view is unnecessary and avoidable.

Abstract
Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) transcatheter closure is a widespread procedure. However in some cases PDA measurements may be unclear and choice of the proper device could be quite difficult. This may happen in large PDA and in particular in adults. We have developed a new technique using an ASD sizing balloon to measure the PDA in order to better understand PDA anatomy and size. The first step is to create an artero-venous circuit across the PDA. A 24 or a 34 mm Amplatzer balloon sizing for ASD closure is placed over the wire from the venous access in the descending aorta. Then, the balloon is inflated and gently pulled back across the PDA toward the pulmonary artery. The frame where the balloon is exactly across the PDA is chosen and measurements performed. In conclusion, a new method for PDA measurement in large PDA is reported. The procedure is safe and reliable. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
Few data exist regarding the efficacy and safety of the Amplatzer ductal occluder (ADO) type 1 device in the Asian region. This retrospective study, conducted between August 2001 and April 2011, attempted device placement for 231 patients (165 females and 66 males) with a median age of 7.4 years (range, 3 months to 64 years) and an average weight of 19.4 kg (range, 4.1-81.0 kg). Among the patients in this study, 66 (28.6%) had pulmonary hypertension, ten (4.3%) had trisomy 21, and eight (3.5%) had other congenital cardiac anomalies. The mean narrowest patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) diameter was 4.2 mm (range, 1.3-10 mm), and the ampulla size was 9.6 mm (range, 4-20 mm). Successful implantation was achieved for 229 patients (99.1%). Complete angiographic occlusion was achieved for 201 patients (87.8%) at the end the procedure. Follow-up data were available for 129 patients (66%). At the follow-up assessment, complete echocardiographic occlusion was seen in 128 patients (99.2%) after 1 month and in 100% of the patients after 6 months. The significant morbidities involved one device embolization and one dislodgment, for which surgical retrieval was performed. No mortalities occurred during the study period, and no late clinical adverse events occurred during the follow-up period. Occlusion of the PDA using ADO is safe, effective, and applicable for a wide range of PDA sizes including large PDAs in small symptomatic infants and in adults. Good outcomes can be attributed to experience of the operators, proper patient selection, and appropriate device size selection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES To assess the safety and efficacy of transcatheter closure of residual ductal flow after initial surgical ligation of the arterial duct. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Between June 2005 and December 2009, transcatheter occlusion of residual postsurgical ductus arteriosus was performed in six children. RESULTS The mean patient age was 10±5.5 years; mean post-procedural time since the initial surgical closure was 6.3±4.5 years. The mean diameter of the patent ductus arteriosus on angiography was 1.3±0.5 mm (range, 0.8 to 2.4 mm). Three different types of coils were used successfully without any complications. CONCLUSION Transcatheter occlusion of residual postsurgical arterial duct is a safe and successful procedure. However, attention should be paid due to the distorting shape of the arterial duct.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: Initial experience with transcatheter closure of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) using detachable coils and Amplatzer duct occluder devices is reported. We evaluated the outcome, complications, and influence of the learning curve, and also assessed the need of surgical backup for such interventional procedures. Methods: From January 2000 to December 2004, 121 patients underwent transcatheter closure of PDA. Aortic angiogram was performed to evaluate the size, position, and shape of the duct for appropriately choosing the occluder device type and size. A second aortic angiogram was performed 10 minutes after device deployment. Echocardiography was repeated at intervals of 24 hours, then at 1, 3, and 6 months after the procedure to assess complications. Stepwise multiple regression analysis was used to assess the role of experience in improving the outcome of the procedure. Results: Of 121 cases, four patients had pulmonary artery embolization of the occluder device which was successfully retrieved in the catheterization laboratory, while two others had embolization that required surgical intervention. Four patients had temporary residual leak, nine had protrusion of the device into the aorta without significant Doppler pressure gradient or hemolysis on follow-up, and five had partial hemodynamically insignificant obstruction to the left pulmonary artery. Statistical analysis showed that the effect of the learning curve and experience was responsible for 93% improvement in the procedural outcome over the five-year study period. Conclusion: Transcatheter occlusion of PDA is safe and effective alternative to surgery. Complications occurred in those with unfavorable duct anatomy and with the use of multiple coils. Surgical backup was important for such interventional procedures. Experience played a major role in the proper choice of device type and size which greatly influenced the outcome of the procedure.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine the incidence and outcome of aortic valve regurgitation (AR) following the percutaneous closure of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). BACKGROUND Aortic valve regurgitation is an overlooked consequence of percutaneous PDA closure. METHODS Between December 2000 and May 2009, 51 children underwent percutaneous closure of PDA using Amplatzer Duct Occluders. Their median age at the time of the procedure was 2.6 years (range: 0.6-18.0 years), and median weight was 14.0 kg (range: 7.6-75.0 kg). Follow-up echocardiograms were performed a day after the procedure and at 1, 3, 12 months, and yearly thereafter. RESULTS A day after the procedure, AR was detected for the first time in 13 of 48 patients (27.0%). A group of patients with newly developed AR was significantly different from a group of patients with competent aortic valves with respect to their age, weight, and minimal PDA diameter indexed to the body weight. The follow-up period ranged from 0.2 to 8.5 years (median 3.3 years) and at the latest follow-up evaluation, AR persisted in a single patient (2.0%) 6 years after the procedure. CONCLUSIONS The aortic valve regurgitation following percutaneous PDA closure is trivial to mild and transient. It develops in approximately a quarter of children after percutaneous closure of PDA with a minimal diameter≥1.5 mm and is more likely to develop in infants and small children having significant left-to-right shunts.

Abstract
Most occurrences of large patent ductus arteriosus (PDAs) of > or =10 mm have been surgically closed, and transcatheter closure of these large PDAs was only reported in a few case reports. The present study reviewed our experience in transcatheter closure of such large PDAs with a Chinese self-expandable occluder, which is similar to but much cheaper than the Amplatzer occluder. From July 2000 to January 2008, 23 patients underwent transcatheter closure of large PDA > or =10 mm with this kind of occluder. The mean (SD) age of the patients was 38.0 (15.6) years (range 18-75 years). Radiographs of the chest, electrocardiograms, and echocardiograms were used for follow-up evaluation of the treatment within 1 day, 1 month, 6 months, and then every year after successful closure. The mean (SD) angiographic PDA diameter was 12.8 (2.6) mm (range 10-18 mm) and the mean occluder diameter was 18.0 (2.9) mm (range 16-22 mm). The occluders were delivered successfully and closed the PDA completely in 19 out of the 23 patients. Pulmonary arterial pressures decreased significantly after occlusion in patients with successful treatment: 67.3 (24.7) mmHg (range 29-122 mmHg) before occlusion and 42.3 (22.0) mmHg (range 19-98 mmHg) immediately after the procedure. Radiographs of the chest and echocardiograms showed that the diameters of the left atrium, left ventricle, and the main pulmonary artery decreased, and the ejection fraction (EF) increased at a mean (SD) follow-up of 36.3 (18.7) months (range 6-72 months). No severe complication occurred. The immediate and long-term outcomes suggested that transcatheter closure of PDAs with the native PDA occluder is a safe and effective treatment for adults with large PDA > or =10 mm.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Study the new Amplatzer Duct Occluder II (ADO II). Limitations were encountered with the preexisting devices in nonconical ducts, large ducts, or in small infants. These include failure, residual shunts, protrusion, migration, and vascular damage. METHODS Between June 2008 and March 2009, 20 consecutive patients were enrolled. In cases where different devices were applicable, we favored the use of the ADO II to maximize our experience with this device and prove its superiority. No coils were required in these 20 patients. RESULTS There were 15 females and 5 males (median age 2 years). ADO II group (n = 16): Immediate complete closure in 75% of the patients, rising to 93.7% at 24 hours. A residual shunt persisted at 3 months in one child. Aortic narrowing from device protrusion was noted in two type E ducts, without any significant gradient, however. ADO I group (n = 4): In two adolescents and in one adult patient, the duct was successfully closed. In a 2-year-old patient with a 6.6 mm type B duct, the ADO I totally obstructed the aortic flow and was retrieved before releasing. The child was sent for surgery. CONCLUSION Even though we did not compare the ADO II to other devices, we feel that it has the capacity to substitute most of the coils, and some of the original ADO I indications. Arterial access was sufficient in most patients, but venous delivery is advised in small infants with large or long ducts, to avoid aortic protrusion and residual shunts.

Abstract
Open surgical repair of patent ductus arteriosus is difficult in the case of elderly patients because of calcification of the duct and the possibility of rupture. Furthermore, endovascular repair with the use of a coil or an occluding device poses problems such as residual shunt or migration of the device. We describe a case wherein closure of a large patent ductus arteriosus in an adult patient was achieved using a Matsui-Kitamura curved nitinol stent-graft.

Abstract
The transcatheter closure of certain types of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) remains a challenge. The investigators report initial clinical experience with 25 patients who underwent PDA occlusion with the use of a swivel-disk device (SDD) or a plug occluder (PO). The patients were divided into 2 groups: in the SDD group, 12 patients aged 1 to 2 years with type A PDA underwent attempted closure using the SDD, a modified Amplatzer duct occluder with a very low profile retention disk that can adapt itself at different PDA insertion angles. The mean PDA diameter was 4.8 +/- 1.5 mm (range 3.8 to 8). In the PO group, 13 patients aged 0.5 to 3 years with type C, D, or E PDA underwent attempted occlusion with the PO, a tubular occluder made of Nitinol wire mesh. The mean PDA diameter was 4.2 +/- 3.5 mm (range 1.2 to 9). The 2 occluders are filled with Dacron patches. The mean device diameters were 6.5 +/- 1.2 and 6.8 +/- 2.2 mm (range 4 to 11) in the SDD and PO groups, respectively. Complete angiographic closure was seen in 24 of 25 patients. The deployment of 4 5-PDA5 coils abolished a residual shunt associated with hemolysis in a 5-month-old patient with a large type C PDA after the implantation of an 11-mm PO. No other complications were observed. In conclusion, the SDD and the PO are promising additions to the armamentarium for PDA closure.

Abstract
A 49-year-old man without heart murmur was admitted with fever because of bacteremia following a tooth extraction. Antibiotics rapidly alleviated the fever; however, a small nodule in the pulmonary artery was identified on computed tomography (CT). When the patient experienced chest discomfort with fever, CT demonstrated the absence of the nodule and the appearance of an abnormal lung opacity, and echocardiography showed turbulent retrograde flow in the pulmonary artery. We had the rare opportunity to follow a case of pulmonary bacterial endarteritis and subsequent pulmonary embolism with clinically silent patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) that was confirmed by 3-dimensional CT.

Abstract
The treatment of congenital heart disease has been revolutionized by the availability of transcatheter devices. These advances in interventional pediatric cardiology require that both treating physicians and radiologists develop a more thorough understanding of the appearance of these devices on chest radiographs. Furthermore, recognition of appropriate versus inappropriate placement of transcatheter devices is essential to the care of patients with congenital heart disease. Knowledge of the radiographic appearance of devices used by interventional pediatric cardiologists can allow a radiologist to make better clinical assessments and detect possible complications given a limited clinical history.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Immediate-, short-, and intermediate-term results of percutaneous patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) closure using Amplatzer duct occluders are excellent. However, long-term results have not yet been reported to date. METHODS Between September 1996 and April 2002, 64 consecutive patients having isolated PDA with minimal diameter of > or =2 mm underwent percutaneous closure using Amplatzer duct occluders. All patients were included in this study and have been followed up until September 2005. RESULTS Patients have been followed up from 40 to 108 months (median 58 months). The mean PDA diameter was 3.5 +/- 1.6 mm. There were no deaths or significant complications during the study period. At a 1-month follow-up, all PDA were completely closed and remained closed thereafter. CONCLUSIONS Since the initial clinical experience in September 1996, the Amplatzer duct occluder has been proven as a safe and effective device for transcatheter PDA closure. Based on our experience, we believe that in patients having completely closed PDA with laminar blood flow pattern in the descending thoracic aorta and left pulmonary artery at a 1-year follow-up, there is no need for further evaluations. In contrast, few remaining patients need a careful follow-up until a complete normalization of all findings.

Abstract
We report a 12-month old patient who presented for murmur evaluation after percutaneous closure of type C patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) using a 10 mm Amplatzer Vascular Plug (AGA Medical Corporation, Golden Valley, MN) at an outside institution. Echocardiography revealed a large left-to-right shunt through the implanted device, inadvertently stenting the PDA instead of closing it. The patient underwent repeat catheterization with successful coil implantation within the Amplatzer Vascular Plug, completely eliminating the large residual ductal shunt. Although challenging, this case illustrates the technique of implanting coils within this occlusion device. This case also illustrates that occlusion of type C PDA utilizing the Amplatzer Vascular Plug may not only result in incomplete occlusion but also create a potentially worse clinical situation in which the PDA is stretched larger and stented open. Without consideration of simultaneous coil implantation within this device, use of the Amplatzer Vascular Plug might be contraindicated in type C PDA, because there may be no way to ensure successful closure by the Vascular Plug alone.
