Abstract
Using radiofrequency energy for closure of the patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) has been reported by us previously. In this article we report the early and late outcome of the first group in whom patent ductus arteriosus has been occluded with radiofrequency. Six children with PDA were enrolled. The procedure was successful in five cases and transient hoarseness was observed in 2 cases as the only complication.
