Abstract
Congenital heart disease (CHD), birth defect with the highest incidence rates worldwide, and is mainly characterized by the abnormal internal structure of the heart or/and the anatomical structure of great vessels. In the past few decades, CHD repair surgery through standard median sternotomy incision combined with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) technology has been considered the gold standard for surgical correction of heart and great vessels. With the promotion and clinical application of interventional catheterization technology, transcatheter closure of CHD under radioactive radiation has gradually been recognized and applied. However, its radiation exposure and potential complications related to arteriovenous vessels still face challenges. In recent years, an increasing number of surgeons have explored new surgical procedures, for the safe and effective treatment of CHD, as far as possible to reduce surgical trauma, avoid radiation exposure, and improve the cosmetic effect. Therefore, on the premise of satisfactory exposure or guidance, how to integrate ultrasound and percutaneous interventional technology remained the focus of the exploration. This mini-review highlights and summarizes the signs of progress of ultrasound intervention in the last decade that have proven the effectiveness and operability of a well-established procedure for percutaneous closure of congenital heart diseases under echocardiographic guidance only. We discuss potential diseases that will benefit from this emerging procedure based on this progress. Owing to the crucial advantages played by this strategy in the treatment of CHD, better understanding and promotion of this less exploited field may contribute to the development of therapeutics targeting CHD, improve medical utilization rate, promote the optimization of medical resources, and ultimately achieve precise and efficient medical treatment.

[PMID: 35244792 PMCID: PMC8897530 DOI: 10.1186/s43044-022-00251-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/14/2021] [Accepted: 02/21/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Transcatheter closure of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) has gained acceptance over the last two decades, replacing the surgery in more than 90% of the cases, so the safety and efficacy of transcather closure of PDA have been evaluated by studying different experiences from different centers in developing countries. The aim is to report our experience with PDA transcather closure, with focus on the adverse events and complications faced during the procedure.
Results Outcome data on PDA transcatheter closure were collected from two different tertiary centers in a multicenter registry. During the period from June 2017 till January 2021, 308 PDA closure were recorded, using device in 197 (64%) and coils in 111 (36%) patients, most of the patients were in pediatric age group from 6 months to 6 years and only 10 patients (3.2%) were adults. Most patients had isolated PDA of 92%, and 9 (2.9%) patients had residual PDAs either post-surgical or transcatheter closure. Median minimum PDA diameter was 2.8 mm (range 1–7.6 mm; IQR 1.8–3.8 mm). The procedure was successful in 293 patients (95%). Complications occurred in 15/308 patients (5%), and only 6 (2%) of them were major complications, but none was life threating. Frequent complications were device embolization (2%), hemolysis (1%), arrhythmia (1%). Younger age, low body weight and longer procedure time were associated with a high complication rate (p < 0.005). Device-related complications were more common than coil-related complications (2.5% versus 0.5%). Conclusions Although transcatheter closure of PDA is considered to be effective procedure with low complications rate, however, complications should be anticipated and managed properly.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate technical success and safety of percutaneous patent ductus arteriosus closure in infants ≤1.5 kg. STUDY DESIGN A systematic review and meta-analysis was performed. Data sources included Scopus, Web of Science, Embase, CINAHL, Cochrane, and PubMed from inception to April 2020. Publications were included if they had a clear definition of the intervention as percutaneous patent ductus arteriosus closure in infants ≤1.5 kg. Data extraction was independently performed by multiple observers. Primary outcome was technical success and secondary outcomes were adverse events (AEs). Subgroup analysis was performed in infants ≤6.0 kg. Data were pooled by using a random-effects model. RESULTS We included 28 studies, including 373 infants ≤1.5 kg and 69 studies enrolling 1794 infants ≤6.0 kg. In patients ≤1.5 kg, technical success was 96% (95% CI, 93%-98%; P = .16; I2 = 23%). The overall incidence of AE was 27% (95% CI, 17%-38%; P < .001; I2 = 70%) and major AEs was 8% (95% CI, 5%-10%; P = .63; I2 = 0%). There were 5 deaths related to the procedure (2%; 95% CI, 1%-4%; P = .99; I2 = 0%); 4 of these deaths occurred in infants <0.8 kg. The probability of technical failure was inversely related to age at the time of the procedure (OR, 0.9; 95% CI, 0.830-0.974; P = .009). Weight at intervention has decreased over time and procedural success has increased. CONCLUSIONS Percutaneous patent ductus arteriosus closure is feasible in infants ≤1.5 kg with few major AEs. The procedural success rate is high, despite performing the intervention in smaller patients. PROSPERO REGISTRATION CRD42020145230.

Abstract
Transcatheter closure of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is a well-established technique worldwide, with minimal incidence of associated major and minor complications. Surgical closure of PDA is equally effective with negligible mortality risk. We describe a case of an adult with unexpected diagnosis of PDA occluder device embolization in main pulmonary artery, presenting after 12 years of initial device deployment during childhood. Due to persistent duct flow, patient developed severe pulmonary hypertension and congestive heart failure. In this report, we are focusing on perioperative management of surgical retrieval of the embolized device along with the need of intermediate and sometimes long term follow up of patients planned for percutaneous closure, in order to avoid procedure-related complications and associated morbidity and mortality risk. At the same time, the socio-economic aspects of the patient should also be considered in decision-making in terms of choice of transcatheter versus surgical closure of the shunt.

Abstract
CONTEXT Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is a precursor to morbidity and mortality. Percutaneous (catheter-based) closure is the procedure of choice for adults and older children with a PDA, but use during infancy (<1 year) is not well characterized. OBJECTIVE Investigate the technical success and safety of percutaneous PDA closure during infancy. DATA SOURCES Scopus, Web of Science, Embase, PubMed, and Ovid (Medline) were searched through December 2015 with no language restrictions. STUDY SELECTION Publications needed to clearly define the intervention as percutaneous PDA closure during infancy (<1 year of age at intervention) and must have reported adverse events (AEs). DATA EXTRACTION The study was performed according to the Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis checklist and registered prospectively. The quality of the selected studies was critically examined. Data extraction and assignment of AE attributability and severity were independently performed by multiple observers. Outcomes were agreed on a priori. Data were pooled by using a random-effects model. RESULTS Thirty-eight studies were included; no randomized controlled trials were found. Technical success of percutaneous PDA closure was 92.2% (95% confidence interval [CI] 88.8-95.0). Overall AE and clinically significant AE incidence was 23.3% (95% CI 16.5-30.8) and 10.1% (95% CI 7.8-12.5), respectively. Significant heterogeneity and publication bias were observed. LIMITATIONS Limitations include lack of comparative studies, lack of standardized AE reporting strategy, and significant heterogeneity in reporting. CONCLUSIONS Percutaneous PDA closure during infancy is feasible and associated with few catastrophic AEs; however, the limitations constrain the interpretability and generalizability of the current findings.

Abstract
The traditional and most effective form of treatment of persistent ductus arteriosus is surgical ductal division. New therapeutic techniques such as intraluminal ductal occlusion are currently recommended to replace the traditional treatment procedure. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the state of the art of these new therapeutic modalities. From reports in the medical literature, the authors analyzed the indications, results, and complications of the intraluminal ductal occlusion procedures. They applied the Student's t test for independent samples to evaluate the results of intraluminal patent ductus arteriosus occlusion by means of umbrellas, buttons, coils, and Gianturco-Grifka and Amplatzer occluders, respectively, in 2,691 patients collected from the medical literature. According to their analysis the results of intraluminal ductal occlusion with coils were as follows: success 83.7 ±12.2%, failure 3.9 ±2.8%, incom plete ductal occlusion 17.5 ±15.3%, need for surgery 2.8 ±3.8%, need for a second intraluminal procedure 5.8 ±9.9%, and device embolization 6.2 ±7.2%. The use of the Gianturco-Grifka device showed the following results: success 96.0 ±5.6%, failure 4.0 ±5.6%, incomplete ductal occlusion 4.0 ±5.6%, need for surgery 0%, need for a second intraluminal procedure 4.0 ±5.6%, and device embolization 4.0 ±5.6%. The Amplatzer occluder showed the following results: success 92.8 ±6.1%, failure 7.2 ±6.1%, incomplete ductal occlusion 2.0 ±4.3%, need for surgery 0%, need for a second intraluminal procedure 0.8 ±1.7%, and device embolization 0.5 ±1.3%. According to the state of the art, intraluminal ductal occlusion with Gianturco-Grifka device and Amplatzer occluder reduces the proportion of incomplete obstructions and need for surgery. Additionally, the use of the Amplatzer occluder reduces need for a second procedure and the embolization rate. Although the results obtained with the new procedures are better than those obtained previously, they are still not totally satisfactory.

Abstract
AIM Over the past 2 decades, transcatheter occlusion of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) with coils and the duct occluders evolved to be the procedure of choice. A new device, the Occlutech PDA® occluder (ODO) device has been designed. Herein, we aimed to evaluate the characteristics and short-term results of patients who underwent transcatheter closure of PDA using the ODO. METHODS We reviewed the clinical records of 60 patients from different centers in Turkey between December 2013 and January 2016. The medical records were reviewed for demographic characteristics and echocardiographic findings. Device size was selected on the narrowest diameter of PDA. RESULTS The median patient age was 2.5 years (6 months-35 years), and median PDA diameter was 2.5 mm (1.2-11 mm). Fifty-eight of 60 patients (96.6%) had successful ODO implantation. The occlusion rates were 37/58 (63.7%) at the end of the procedure, 51/58 (87.9%) at 24-48 hours post-procedure, and 57/58 (98.2%) on echocardiography at a median follow-up of 7.6 months. CONCLUSION Our results indicate that transcatheter closure of PDA using the ODO is effective. Larger studies and longer follow-up are required to assess whether its shape and longer length make it superior to other duct occluders in large, tubular, or window-type ducts.

Abstract
Background: At high altitude, patent arterial ducts tend to be larger and associated with pulmonary hypertension. Patent ductus arteriosus device closure in this background could be challenging. Objectives: We report our experience with percutaneous closure of patent arterial ducts using a variety of devices in patients residing in a high altitude. Patients and Methods: This is a retrospective review of the case records of 145 patients (age 9 months-20 years, mean 5.6 ± 3.9 years, and weight 7-54 kg, mean 17.7 ± 9.4) with duct sizes ranging between 2 and 21 mm, (mean, 5.8 ± 2.7) who underwent percutaneous closure of patent arterial ducts. One hundred thirty-six (93.8%) of the patients were from a geographic area of 2100-2800 m above sea level. Results: Successful device closure was achieved in 143 cases. It was difficult to achieve device stability in two patients with expansile ducts. Therefore, they were treated surgically. The devices used were various types of duct occluder devices in 131 patients, while atrial and ventricular septal occluders were used in eight patients. For the group, mean systolic pulmonary artery (PA) pressure decreased from 47.0 ± 16.7 mmHg before occlusion to 29.0 ± 7.4 mmHg after occlusion (P ≤ 0.001)., mean diastolic PA pressure from 25.0 ± 10.9 mmHg to 14.8 ± 6.0 mmHg and the average mean PA pressure decreased from 35.9 ± 13.5 mmHg to 21.1 ± 6.5 mmHg. Complications (4.8%) included device and coil embolization, bleeding, and pulse loss. On follow-up (mean duration of 36.1 ± 12.1 months, range 12-62 months), 137 patients were in functional class 1, 3 had residual shunt, 2 had device migration and one patient had persisting pulse loss. Conclusions: Successful duct closure was achieved in the vast majority of patients, even though the ducts were larger and significant number of them had pulmonary hypertension in this high altitude group. There was a relatively higher incidence of residual shunts and device migration in this series, generally due to the nonavailability of optimal device and surgical support. Long-term follow-up is required before we can draw conclusions with regard to the sustainability of drop in PA pressures. Septal Occluder devices may be a possible alternative for large tubular or window-type ducts with severe pulmonary hypertension, where there may be concerns about the size and stability of duct occluder devices.

Abstract
The conventional transcatheter closure of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) requires femoral artery puncture and angiography for duct anatomic and shunting estimation. If such estimation can be replaced by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), the procedure will be further simplified, with fewer invasions. This study aimed to examine whether TTE can serve as an alternative to aorta angiography and as a major guidance for transcatheter duct closure. The study enrolled 298 consecutive patients (71 males and 227 females) with PDA. In the study, TTE with combined two-dimensional echocardiography (2DE) imaging and color-coded flow imaging (CDFI) was performed to measure the minimal shunting width (MSW) as the estimated minimal duct size for selection of an Amplatzer duct occluder (ADO) and to monitor the transcatheter duct closure intraprocedurally. The MSW was validated against the duct-stretched diameter (SDD), against the minimal waist diameter of the conical part of a released occluder measured by X-ray spot picture after successful duct closure (SDC), and against the size of the finally used ADO (SADO). Good correlation was found between MSW and SDD [SDD (mm) = 1.31 MSW; r = 0.89; p < 0.01] and between MSW and SADO [SADO (mm) = 1.71 MSW; r = 0.88; p < 0.01]. Of 296 patients who received occlusion using MSW as the reference for selection of the occluder, SDC was attained in 288 (97.3%), 5 (1.7%), and 2 (0.7%) patients, respectively, at the first, second (1 ADO replacement), and third (2 ADO replacements) occluding attempt. Acute occluder dislodgement occurred in one patient (0.3%). At the 12-month follow-up assessment, no major complications were found, and the total immediate or 12-month SDC was 99.7%. Echocardiography as an alternative major guidance to angiography for transcatheter duct closure is technically feasible, and TTE guidance can further simplify the procedure, with fewer invasions and potential complications.

Abstract
Less-invasive methods for nonsurgical closure of a patent ductus arteriosus have gained popularity as first-line therapy. An 11-year-old girl underwent percutaneous patent ductus arteriosus closure with a device. The device embolized into the descending aorta. An attempt at catheter retrieval was complicated by iliofemoral arterial injury. Subsequent device extraction was performed with repair of the arterial injury using a tube graft.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The standard procedure in percutaneous closure of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) with Amplatzer duct occluder-I (ADO-I) is transvenous closure guided by aortic access through femoral artery. The current study aims to compare the procedures for PDA closure with ADO-I: only transvenous access with the standard procedure. METHODS This study was designed retrospectively and 101 pediatric patients were included. PDA closure was done by only femoral venous access in 19 of them (group 1), arterial and venous access used in 92 patients (group 2) between 2004 to 2012 years. The position of the device and residual shunt in group1 was evaluated by the guidance of the aortogram obtained during the return phase of the pulmonary artery injection and guidance of transthoracic echocardiography. Shapiro-Wilk's test, Mann-Whitney U, chi-squared tests were used for statistical comparison. RESULTS The procedure was successful in 18 (95%) patients in group 1 and 90 (98%) patients in group 2. Complications including the pulmonary artery embolization (n=1), protrusion to pulmonary artery (n=1), inguinal hematoma (n=3), bleeding (n=2) were only detected in group 2. In other words, while complications were observed in 7 (7.2%) patients in group 2, no minor/major complication was observed in group 1. Complete closure in group 1 was: in catheterization room 14 (77.8%), at 24th hour in 2 (11.1%), at first month in 2 (11.1%). Complete closure in group 2 was: 66 (73.4%) patients in the catheterization room, 21 (23.3%) at 24th hour, 3 (3.3%) at first month, complete closure occurred at the end of first month. CONCLUSION In percutaneouse PDA closure via ADO-I, this technique can be a choice for patients whose femoral artery could not be accessed, or access is impossible/contraindicated. But for the reliability and validity of this method, randomized multicenter clinical studies are necessary.

Catheter Cardiovasc Interv 2013; 82:961-7. [PMID: 23592558 DOI: 10.1002/ccd.24957] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/15/2012] [Revised: 03/12/2013] [Accepted: 04/09/2013] [Indexed: 11/08/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND We sought to investigate the safety, efficacy, and follow-up results of percutaneous patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) closure using the novel Cardi-O-Fix duct occluder (CDO), a device similar to but less expensive than the Amplatzer duct occluder (ADO). We also aimed to compare these two devices in terms of results. METHODS Between March 2005 and May 2012, 167 patients diagnosed with moderate-to-large PDA underwent transcatheter closure. ADO was used in 56 (33.5%) patients with a mean age of 8.1 ± 11.9 years (3.6 months-56 years), whereas CDO was used in 111 (66.5%) patients with a mean age of 12.6 ± 14.6 years (4.8 months-63 years). RESULTS The narrowest PDA diameter, the used device diameter, procedure time, fluoroscopy time, and residual shunt rates were similar between the two groups. Procedural success rate was 100% in both groups. Although the residual shunt rate was higher in the CDO group immediately after the procedure, the difference was not statistically significant (12.6 vs. 8.9%; P = 0.3). There was no statistically significant difference between groups at discharge and during follow-up. No deaths occurred in any of the groups, and there were no differences in complication rates during the short- and mid-term follow-up periods (CDO 7/111 vs. ADO 5/56; P = 0.5 π). CONCLUSION The CDO can be used for PDA closure because of its safety, effectiveness, and simplicity in use. It is available in bigger sizes and can be used in patients with large defects. According to our short- and mid-term findings, the results it yields are similar to those of the ADO; thus, it may be the preferred choice owing to its low cost and large size variability.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Retrospective analysis of feasibility, safety and advantages of device closure of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) using only venous access. BACKGROUND Arterial access for transcatheter device closure of PDA has been a standard practice, but has inherent complications, especially in infants. METHOD Records of patients who underwent PDA device closure from 2004 to 2012 were reviewed. Echocardiography was used for patient selection and for assessment of procedural outcome. RESULT 151 out of 179 patients underwent PDA device closure with venous access alone, weighing 2.2-58 kg with half <10 kg and follow up of 6 months-8 years. Fluoroscopic time ranged from 2.2 to 16 min. Immediate closure was achieved in 146 patients. Two patients had new-onset left pulmonary artery turbulence and one had residual flow. CONCLUSION PDA device closure without arterial access can be accomplished safely and effectively in vast majority of patients including infants.

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
OBJECTIVES To determine the safety and efficacy of the Amplatzer duct occluder and the Amplatzer duct occluder II in different types of arterial ducts, and to determine in which types of ducts the use of this new device can be advantageous. METHODS All children with a device-based ductal closure between September, 2005 and February, 2010 were included. We retrospectively analysed the catheterisation and follow-up data. RESULTS Between September, 2005 and February, 2010, 44 ducts were closed with the Amplatzer duct occluder - group Amplatzer duct occluder - and 52 ducts were closed with the Amplatzer duct occluder II - group Amplatzer duct occluder II. In the Amplatzer duct occluder group, the mean age was 3 years and 4 months, and the mean weight was 14.7 kilograms. Closure was successfully performed in all children. Complete closure at 24 hours was attained in 42 of 44 children (95.45%). No major complications occurred. In the Amplatzer duct occluder II group, the mean age was 6 years and 2 months, and the mean weight was 25.4 kilograms. Closure was successfully performed in all children, except in two children in whom the occluder protruded into the aortic isthmus and was replaced by the Amplatzer duct occluder. Complete closure at 24 hours was attained in 51 of 52 children (98.08%). No major complications occurred. CONCLUSION In our experience, duct closure with the Amplatzer duct occluder II is a safe and effective method. The advantages of using it are the smaller sheath sizes and softer shape.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Obstruction to flow in the left pulmonary artery (LPA) is a well-known complication after transcatheter device closure of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). This complication has been studied for different devices using lung perfusion radionuclide scintigraphy (LPRS), but not for Amplatzer devices. This study was performed to evaluate the effect of such devices on lung perfusion using LPRS. METHODS This is a retrospective study that looked at all patients who had PDA closure using different Amplatzer devices at our center between July 1999 and January 2007. All patients underwent LPRS within 24 hr of the procedure. We compared LPRS with other hemodynamic data obtained by cardiac catheterization and echocardiography. Results are presented as mean ± SD or median and ranges. RESULTS A total of 70 patients had PDA closure using an Amplatzer device; median age was 1.8 years (4 months to 75 years) and median weight was 12 kg (5-112 Kg). Nine patients had associated cardiac anomalies. Sixty eight patients had available LPRS. The mean percent of left lung perfusion (LLP) was 42.7% (± 6.7%). Excluding patients with pre-existing LPA stenosis, 17% had abnormally decreased LLP. On hemodynamic measurements, 62 patients had available direct pressure measurements following PDA closure. None had significant increase. No correlation was found with echocardiographic data. CONCLUSION PDA closure with Amplatzer family of devices is associated with a relatively significant risk of decreased perfusion to the left lung, mostly mild abnormalities. Comparison with catheterization and echocardiographic measurements showed lack of correlation with LPRS findings.

Abstract
Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) accounts for approximately 10% of all congenital heart diseases, with an incidence of at least 2-4 per 1000 term births. Closure of the large, hemodynamically significant PDA is established as the standard of care, and can be performed safely and effectively using either surgical or transcatheter methods. The appropriate management of the very small, hemodynamically insignificant PDA is less clear. Routine closure of such defects has been advocated to eliminate or reduce the risk of infective endocarditis (IE). However, the risk of IE in patients with a small PDA appears to be extremely low, and IE is treatable. Although closure of the small PDA is generally safe and technically successful, it is unknown whether this treatment truly improves the risk:benefit balance compared with observation. In this article, we review the published literature on the natural history and treatment outcomes in individuals with a PDA, the epidemiology and outcomes of IE, particularly in association with PDA, and the rationale and evidence for closure of the very small PDA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the safety and efficacy of transcatheter occlusion of the arterial duct without femoral arterial catheterization. BACKGROUND Patent arterial ducts have been closed percutaneously since the 1960s. It remains standard practice to use arterial access for aortography before, during, and after implantation of the device. Femoral arterial catheterisation has well recognised complications, and should be avoided unless absolutely necessary. METHODS We reviewed prospectively collected data relating to 389 occlusions of the arterial duct performed consecutively between 1994 and 2004. We inserted Cook detachable coils in 288 instances using the Amplatzer duct occluder in the remaining 101. Information was obtained regarding procedural success, displacement of the device, and re-intervention. We have followed out patients for a median of 1.15 years in those closed with the Amplatzer device, and 1.09 years in those closed with a coil. RESULTS In the patients in whom we used coils, occlusion was possible in 75% using venous access alone. We reintervened in 25 patients, because of embolisation of the device in 6, haemolysis in 5, and residual shunting in 14. On follow-up, complete occlusion had been achieved in 98%. We found trivial stenosis of the left pulmonary artery in 3 patients. When using the Amplatzer device, closure using venous access alone was achieved in 82%, and 2 patients required reintervention because of embolisation of the device. Complete occlusion had been achieved in all patients as judged by follow-up at 1 year, and 2 patients had trivial stenosis of the left pulmonary artery. CONCLUSION Arterial catheterisation is unnecessary in the great majority of patients undergoing occlusion of the arterial duct. Use of venous catheterisation alone is safe, and does not appear to increase the risk of device-related complications.

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
We describe successful closure of a persistently patent arterial duct, using an Amplatzer occluder, in the presence of a large thoracic aortic aneurysm in the area of the ductal ampulla. Although percutaneous closure is more difficult in this setting, because of the risk of traumatising the fragile tissues, it can safely be performed. In our case, it produced a decrease in the size of the aneurysm, and permitted us to delay endovascular repair of the thoracic aorta.

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
BACKGROUND Left ventricular (LV) remodeling and predictors of LV systolic function late after closure of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in adults remain to be clearly demonstrated. METHODS In 45 patients with PDA, including 28 patients who received successful occlusion using the Amplatzer device (AD group) (AGA, Golden Valley, MN) and 17 patients who received surgical closure (OP group), echocardiography studies were performed before closure and 1 day (AD group) or within 7 days (OP group) after closure, and then were repeated at > or = 6 months (17 +/- 13 months). RESULTS In both groups, LV ejection fraction (EF) and end-diastolic volume index were significantly decreased immediately after closure, whereas end-systolic volume index did not change. During the long-term follow-up period, end-systolic as well as end-diastolic volume indices decreased significantly in both groups and LV EF recovered compared to the immediate postclosure state. However, LV EF remained low compared to the preclosure state. Five patients (11.1%) including 3 patients in the AD group and 2 patients in the OP group showed persistent late LV systolic dysfunction (EF <50%). In stepwise, multiple logistic regression analysis, preclosure EF was the only independent predictor of late normal postclosure EF (odds ratio, 1.230; 95% CI, 1.054-1.434; P = .008). Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that preclosure EF > or = 62% had a sensitivity of 72% and a specificity of 83% for predicting late normal LV EF after closure. CONCLUSIONS Left ventricular EF remains low late after PDA closure compared with preclosure state in adults. Preclosure LV EF is the best index to predict late postclosure LV EF.

Abstract
To evaluate the short- and mid-term results and complications ensuing the transcatheter closure of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). Between October 1999 and December 2005, 117 patients (34 males and 83 females) underwent attempted percutaneous closure of PDA with a minimum diameter of more than 3 mm. Follow-up evaluations were conducted at 1 day and 1, 3, 6, 12 months after the performance of the transcatheter closure. The median age of patients at catheterization was 11 yr (range, 0.6 to 68 yr), median weight was 30 kg (range, 6 to 74 kg), and the median diameter of PDA was 4 mm (range, 3 to 8 mm). This procedure was conducted successfully in 114 patients (97.4%), using different devices. Major complications were detected in 4 patients (3.4%); significant hemolysis (2), infective endocarditis (1), failed procedure due to embolization (1). Minor complications occurred in 6 patients (5.1%); mild narrowing of the descending aorta (2) and mild encroachment on the origin of the left pulmonary artery (4). Although the transcatheter closure of PDA may be considered to be effective, several complications, including hemolysis, embolization, infective endocarditis, and the narrowing of adjacent vessels may occur in certain cases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the acute and follow-up results of transcatheter closure of moderate to large patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) with the Amplatzer duct occluder. METHODS Between April 2000 and June 2005, 237 patients underwent attempted transcatheter closure of PDA, of whom Amplatzer duct occluder was used in 68 patients with moderate-to-large-sized PDA (45 females, with ages ranging from 56 days to 75 years, median 3.3 years). Moderate to large PDA is defined as ductus diameter > or =2.5 mm (> or =3 mm in early phase of this study) in infants and young children, or > or =4 mm in adolescents and adults. The size of device selected was generally at least 1-2 mm larger than ductus diameter. RESULTS The ductus diameter ranged from 2.5 to 8.5 mm (4.1 +/- 1.3 mm). Amplatzer duct occluder was successfully deployed in 66 out of 68 patients. The size of device deployed ranged from 4 to 12 mm (6.3 +/- 1.6 mm). The causes of failure in the 2 patients included calcification of ductus resulting, in failure in advancing a sheath to descending aorta in 1 and kinking of a Cook sheath in the other. Distal embolization of the device occurred several hours later in one. After the device was retrieved percutaneously, the patient was sent to surgery. No other significant complications occurred. In the 3-month follow-up, complete occlusion was achieved in all patients. No patient had left pulmonary artery stenosis. CONCLUSIONS Transcatheter closure of moderate-to-large-sized ductus with Amplatzer ductus occluder is effective and safe.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to assess the feasibility of transcatheter embolisation of a patent ductus arteriosus using an Amplatzer vascular plug (Amplatzer Medical UK) in six dogs. METHODS The Amplatzer vascular plug is a self-expandable, cylindrical device attached to a delivery cable. In all the dogs, the device was delivered transvenously. Successful device implantation was defined as firm anchorage of the device squarely within the distal part of the ductus arteriosus with no intra- or postoperative dislodgement. Successful occlusion of the ductus arteriosus occurred if a disappearance of the continuous murmur was achieved 24 hours after placement of the Amplatzer vascular plug. RESULTS The age of the dogs ranged from 16 weeks to 7.5 years. Their weights ranged from 2.9 to 27.6 kg (median 6 kg). Two dogs had congestive heart failure before embolisation. Successful device implantation was achieved in all dogs. Successful occlusion of the ductus arteriosus was achieved in four of the six dogs. Complications included mild lameness, residual shunting, and bruising and pruritus around the surgical wound site. At follow-up, two dogs had a continuous murmur and one required treatment for congestive heart failure. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE This technique may represent a clinically effective and less expensive alternative to the use of an Amplatzer duct occluder (Amplatzer Medical UK) in dogs with medium-sized patent ductus arteriosus. Further investigations are required to fully evaluate its efficacy and safety in various sizes and types of patent ductus arteriosus, and to determine the optimal device size in relation to the size of the ductus.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to report our experience using the Amplatzer Duct Occluder (ADO) for occlusion of significant coronary artery fistulae (CAF). BACKGROUND Transcatheter closure of CAF with coils is well described. Use of newer devices may offer advantages such as improved control of device placement, use of a single instead of multiple devices, and high rates of occlusion. METHODS A retrospective review of all patients catheterized for CAF from July 2002 through August 2005 was performed. RESULTS Thirteen patients with CAF underwent cardiac catheterization, of which a total of 6 patients had ADO placement in CAF (age, 21 days to 56 years; median age, 4.3 years and weight, 3.8 kg to 74.6 kg; median weight, 13.3 kg). An arteriovenous wire loop was used to advance a long sheath antegrade to deploy the ADO in the CAF. Immediate and short-term outcomes (follow-up, 3 months to 14 months; median follow-up, 8.5 months) demonstrated complete CAF occlusion in 5 patients and minimal residual shunt in 1 patient (who had resolution of right atrial and right ventricular enlargement). On follow-up clinical evaluation, all 6 patients had absence of fistula-related murmurs, and 2 previously symptomatic patients had resolution of congestive heart failure symptoms. Early complications included transient palpitations and atrial arrhythmia in the 2 oldest patients (52 and 56 years old). CONCLUSIONS Use of the ADO is applicable for transcatheter closure of significant CAF. Advantages of using the ADO include the antegrade approach, use of a single device, and effective CAF occlusion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgical closure of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) with severe pulmonary arterial hypertension in adults carries higher risk than in children. OBJECTIVES To investigate the application of self-expandable occluders for transcatheter closure of PDA associated with severe pulmonary arterial hypertension in adults, and the assessment of immediate and short-term results. METHODS 29 adult patients (6 men, 23 women) underwent attempted transcatheter closure of PDA at a mean (standard deviation (SD)) age of 31.1 (11.4) years (range 18-58 years) and a mean (SD) weight of 54.1 (7.1) kg (range 42-71 kg). On the basis of haemodynamic and clinical data obtained before and after trial occlusion, the final duct occlusion was determined and carried out. Radiographs of the chest, electrocardiograms and echocardiograms were used for follow-up evaluation of the treatment within 1 day, 1 month and 3-6 months after successful closure. RESULTS 20 of the 29 patients had successful occlusion (group 1), and 9 patients failed (named group 2). In group 1, in which occlusion was successful, mean (SD) pulmonary arterial pressures decreased markedly after trial occlusion: 78 (19.3) mm Hg (range 50-125 mm Hg) before occlusion and 41 (13.8) mm Hg (range 23-77 mm Hg) after occlusion. Systemic arterial oxygen saturation was found to be >90% in 19 patients and <90% in the remaining patient before inhalation of oxygen, and >95% during inhalation of oxygen or after occlusion in all 20 patients. In group 2, the occlusion was not successful, because in two patients the device was not available; another two patients showed worsening of symptoms. The other five patients showed increased pulmonary arterial pressures after trial closure; their mean (SD) pulmonary arterial pressures increased by 10.3 (6) mm Hg (4-16 mm Hg) after trial occlusion, and systemic arterial oxygen saturation was 85.5% (2.6%) (range 82.6-88%) before inhalation of oxygen and 94.7% (1.7%) (range 90.7-99.1%) during inhalation of oxygen. In group 1, the dimensions of the left atrium, left ventricle and pulmonary artery increased considerably in 3-6-months of follow-up compared with those of preocclusion. CONCLUSIONS Transcatheter closure is an effective treatment for adults with PDA associated with reversible severe pulmonary arterial hypertension. Further research is needed for the evaluation of long-term results.

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
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effectiveness of the strategy of transcatheter occlusion with the Gianturco coil for small-to-moderate sized ductus and with Amplatzer duct occluder (ADO) for large ductus. PATIENT AND METHODS For ductus closure, the following strategy was applied: ADO was used in large ductus: infants and young children weighing < 15 kg with a ductus diameter > or = 3 mm and in older children or adults with a ductus diameter > or = 4 mm and coils were employed in patients with small-to-moderate sized ductus. During a 3-year period, this strategy was applied in 136 patients. The results were compared between 214 patients (group I) undergoing ductus closure using only coil before application of this strategy and strategic closure in 136 patients (group II). Each group was divided into 2 subgroups: subgroup A with large ductus and subgroup B with small-to-moderate ductus. There were 54 patients in subgroup IA, 160 in subgroup IB, 33 in subgroup IIA and 103 in subgroup IIB, respectively. RESULTS In group I, PDA occlusion was successful in 207 (96.7%) and failed in 7 (6 of group IA and 1 of group IB). In group II, ductus closure was successful in 134 patients (98.5%) (32/33 with ADO and 102/103 with coils). There was no significant difference in success rate between group I and II. Distal embolization occurred in 19 patients of group I and in 2 of group II, respectively (19/214 vs. 2/136, P < 0.01). There was no significant difference in success rate between group IA and IIA but the distal embolization rate was higher in group IA than IIA (13/54 vs. 1/33, P=0.014). Left pulmonary artery stenosis was found exclusively in 9 patients of group I at the 6-month follow-up (P < 0.05). Nine patients in group I required second intervention to achieve complete occlusion. CONCLUSIONS The strategy of ductus closure worked well by reducing embolization rate, incidence of left pulmonary artery stenosis and the need of second intervention.

Abstract
The Amplatzer duct occluder (ADO) provides a safe and effective therapy for patients with moderate- to large-sized patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), but there have been few reports of transcatheter closure of very large PDAs in young children and infants. We report a successful transcatheter closure of a very large PDA, 10.5 mm in diameter at the narrowest point, with a 14/12-mm ADO. To our knowledge, this is the largest PDA ever closed by an interventional method in such a young child.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We have used the Amplatzer ductal occluder for transcatheter closure of large persistently patent arterial ducts, and used our experience to assess the safety and efficacy of the device in young children and infants. METHODS AND PATIENTS We used the Amplatzer ductal occluder prospectively in 43 patients with large patent arterial ducts, reviewing our experience to identify any problems or complications. RESULTS The procedure proved successful in 42 of the patients. We achieved complete occlusion of the duct in 33 (78.5 per cent) of the patients on the day of insertion. In 6 additional patients, complete occlusion occurred 1 week to 6 months after the procedure. Trivial leaks persisted in 2 patients, while one had a significant residual leak. Problems were encountered in 7 patients. The procedure failed in one, a device was wasted in 2, pulled through in 3, while we experienced kinking of the long Mullins sheath, being unable to retrieve the device, in one patient. Minor complications occurred in 6 patients, finding flow at a peak velocity of 2.2 metres per second in the descending aorta in 2 patients, and at 2.5 metres per second in 2 further patients, and flow at 2.5 metres per second in the pulmonary arteries of two patients. One patient experienced a major complication due to excessive bleeding. Out of the 14 patients suffering adverse events, 13 weighed less than 10 kilograms. This rate of problems and complication in these patients weighing less than 10 kilograms was significantly higher than in the patients weighing more than 10 kilograms. CONCLUSION Transcatheter occlusion of moderate to large patent arterial ducts with the Amplatzer ductal occluder device is safe and effective, with a high rate of complete occlusion. Problems and minor complications may be encountered in children weighing less than 10 kilograms. If the device is to be deployed completely in the ductal ampulla, and to avoid descending aortic obstruction, the size of the retention flanges of the occluder should not exceed the largest diameter of the patent arterial duct.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We sought to review and report initial and one-year efficacy and safety results of the multicenter USA Amplatzer ductal occluder (ADO) device trial. BACKGROUND Transcatheter closure of a moderate to large patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) using conventional techniques is challenging. The ADO can close a PDA up to 12 mm in diameter. METHODS From September 1999 to June 2002, 484 patients were enrolled in 25 U.S. centers. Forty-five (9%) of 484 patients did not have ADO implantation, because the PDA was too small or because of elevated pulmonary resistance. The median age of the patients at catheterization was 1.8 years (range 0.2 to 70.7 years), and weight was 11 kg (range 4.5 to 164.5 kg). RESULTS The median PDA minimal diameter was 2.6 mm (range 0.9 to 11.2 mm); 76 (17%) of 439 were larger than 4.0 mm. Median pulmonary artery mean pressure was 20 mm Hg (range 7 to 80 mm Hg). The ADO was implanted successfully in 435 (99%) of 439 patients, with a median fluoroscopy time of 7.1 min (range 2.9 to 138.4 min). Angiographic demonstration of occlusion was seen in 329 (76%) of 435. This increased to 384 (89%) of 433 on post-catheterization day 1, with occlusion documented in 359 (99.7%) of 360 at one year. At the last evaluation in all patients at any time, PDA closure was documented in 428 (98%) of 435 patients. There have been two cases of partial left pulmonary artery occlusion after ADO implantation and no cases of significant aortic obstruction. CONCLUSIONS Moderate to large PDAs can be effectively and safely closed using the ADO device, with excellent initial and one-year results. This device should obviate the need for multiple coils or surgical intervention for these defects.

Abstract
In 2004, the interventional treatment of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is definitive and curative. In current practice, coils are used for smaller PDA, and devices are employed for larger PDA. Developing technologies offer small improvements in control and results, but do not appear to promise major changes in practice. This review summarizes the current and emerging interventional technologies directed at PDA closures.

Abstract
Percutaneous transcatheter closure of persistent ductus arteriosus (PDA) has been well established in the pediatric field. For moderate- to large-sized PDA, the newly developed Amplatzer duct occluder had offered a good solution, but it depends on stiff wire and delivery sheath. We reported two elderly patients of PDA with vascular anatomy too difficult to be antegradely approached and were closed by a retrograde technique by an assisting wire from the descending aorta. The wire served as a guide and tracked the delivery system to cross the ductus from the venous side smoothly. This retrograde wire-assisted technique could be utilized to overcome the PDA of difficult vascular anatomy, which could not be easily fulfilled by conventional antegrade venous approach.

Abstract
A case is described of the inadvertent embolization of an Amplatzer duct occluder in the descending aorta in a 10-year-old girl. It was possible to snare the device and bring it in its normal position in the aortic ductus ampulla. With a second snare, the recessed screw of the device could be caught and the device was successfully pulled back into the ductus.

Abstract
In the present study, we report the initial clinical experience with the new angled Amplatzer duct occluder (ADO) for the percutaneous closure of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). Percutaneous closure of PDA using standard ADO in infants and in patients with small PDA ampulla is difficult, or even impossible, due to protrusion of the aortic disk into the descending thoracic aorta. The aortic disk of an angled ADO is angled at 32 degrees to the body of the device and concave toward the aorta to prevent protrusion of the disk into the aorta. Percutaneous closure of PDA was attempted in nine patients with a median age of 5.2 years (range, 0.5-12.7) and median weight of 20 kg (range, 4.9-55). Selection of the occluder and the implantation technique were similar to the standard ADO. The minimal PDA diameter ranged from 2.1 to 3.7 mm (median, 2.5 mm). Occluders were successfully implanted in all patients. Immediate complete PDA closure was achieved in all patients. There were no complications. The new angled ADO is a safe and effective device for PDA closure, particularly suitable for infants and patients with small PDA ampulla. Further studies and long-term follow-up are necessary to confirm our initial experience.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anatomic type and angiographic measurements of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) are used to determine the suitability of transcatheter closure (TCC). The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether these PDA features can be obtained by 2-dimensional echocardiography (2DE). METHODS We retrospectively compared PDA measurements and type from 36 patients submitted to TCC between November 1995 and October 2000. RESULTS The patient age ranged between 2 months to 10.5 years (median = 1.2 years). A significant correlation was found between measurements of PDA minimal diameter (R(2) = 0.88) and diameter at aortic ostium (R(2) = 0.72); whereas a poor correlation existed between measurements of the ampulla length. The 2DE and angiographic PDA classification were concordant in 31 of 36 (86%) patients. CONCLUSION Our data support the use of 2DE measurements of PDA minimal diameter and PDA diameter at the aortic end to assess suitability for TCC. In the majority of cases, PDA type can be diagnosed by 2DE.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Transcatheter closure of patent ductus arteriosus is a well-established procedure. The aim of this study was to assess the initial and mid-term results of the treatment of PDA with the Amplatzer duct occluder. PATIENTS AND METHODS From October 1999 to December 2001, 30 children underwent transcatheter closure of persistent ductus arteriosus at a mean SD age of 5 4.02 years (range: 3 months to 14 years) and weight of 20.3 10.3 kg (range: 4.5-45 kg). Infants under 10 kg weight made up 46% of total patients. A lateral view aortogram was made to determine the morphology of the ductus and select the size of the device. Occlusion was achieved using the anterograde venous approach. Follow-up evaluations were made with chest X-ray and echocardiogram at 24 hours and 1, 4 and 12 months after implantation. RESULTS Twenty-eight patients (93.3%) immediately achieved complete occlusion, and on color Doppler examination the closure rate was 100% within 24 hours of implantation. There was no device embolization. In the follow-up, a 19-month-old patient developed a 20 mmHg gradient across the aortic arch. CONCLUSIONS Patent ductus arteriosus can be easily occluded with the Amplatz Duct Occluder, which is effective and particularly useful in infants and children with relatively large PDA. Further experience and long-term follow-up are still needed to assess the safety of this device in smaller children.
