Abstract
Introduction The Nit-Occlud PDA device is a newer coil-type device with a high degree of efficacy and safety. There are concerns about the high incidence of immediate angiographic residual shunt with this device. Aim To compare immediate angiographic residual shunts and their outcomes following PDA device closure with the Nit-Occlud device. Material and methods A single-institution, retrospective chart review of PDA closures was performed. Thirty patients who underwent Nit-Occlud PDA closure were compared with 34 patients who underwent PDA closure with an Amplatzer Duct Occluder-1 (ADO-1) and 25 patients who underwent PDA closure with coils. Results The three groups were similar in age, weight, and procedural characteristics. The PDA dimensions were smaller in the coils group. Technical success in the ADO-1 and Nit-Occlud groups was 100%. A small angiographic residual shunt was seen more often in the Nit-Occlud group (70%) than in the ADO-1 (59%) and coils (26%) groups (p = 0.005). Most residual shunts in the Nit-Occlud group disappeared in the echocardiogram performed 4 h later (90% echocardiographic closure). Echocardiographic closure (100%) was seen at 2 months and 6 months in the Nit-Occlud group. No correlation was noted between the angiographic residual shunt and Nit-Occlud device orientation with respect to the ductus, the device-ductal angle or the number of loops at the pulmonary artery end. Conclusions Despite the higher immediate angiographic residual shunt rate in the Nit-Occlud group than the other groups, high echocardiographic closure rates were seen within hours after device closure, which persisted at follow-up. The angiographic residual shunt is not related to the device orientation and should not be a deterrent in using this device.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Little is known about the necessity for long-term follow-up after interventional closure of persistent arterial duct (PDA). Potential side effects and complications include residual shunts, haemolysis, device embolization, and obstruction to flow in the adjoining vessels. METHODS Single centre retrospective study of paediatric patients undergoing interventional PDA occlusion. RESULTS 315 patients who underwent interventional occlusion of a PDA between November 2002 and September 2013 were included. Of these, eight needed re-intervention (three for device embolization, five for residual shunt). Seven had mild obstruction to flow in the adjoining vessels, but did not require any intervention. All sequelae were found latest at the first follow-up appointment after the procedure (usually within 3 months); whilst none developed during further follow-up. CONCLUSION Complications of interventional closure of PDA were apparent immediately after the procedure or by three months of follow-up. Long-term follow-up is not indicated in cases when no complications are seen early after the procedure.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate whether accurate estimation of the diameter of the patent ductus arteriosus can be obtained by colour Doppler echocardiography. METHODS The minimum and maximum diameters of the patent ductus arteriosus were measured by colour Doppler echocardiography and compared with its angiographic size. RESULTS We studied 40 patients, aged between 4 months and 18 years. The measured pulmonary side diameter in echocardiography was 33.6% larger than that in angiography, and the aortic side was 7.8% smaller. We found a correlation between the measurements of the minimum and maximum size of the patent ductus arteriosus (r = 48.8 and 52.6) by colour Doppler echocardiography and angiographic findings, respectively. CONCLUSION Colour Doppler echocardiography significantly overestimates the minimum size of the patent ductus arteriosus; therefore, reconsideration of the respective size is suggested.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) has emerged as an innovative and popular procedure for closure of a patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), but is associated with a minute rate of residual or recurrent duct patency. This study aims to analyze the efficacy of intraoperative esophageal stethoscopic monitoring in reducing the incidence of residual ductal flow during PDA clipping by VATS. METHODS Between June 1997 and October 2009, we retrospectively assessed 2000 consecutive patients with PDA who underwent VATS. During the procedure, heart sounds were monitored by the anesthesiologist through an esophageal stethoscope. Changes in continuous cardiac murmurs were recorded before and after the PDA clipping and were confirmed to disappear completely. Color flow Doppler echocardiography was performed immediately before discharge, and patients were followed monthly for 3, 6, and 12 months and then annually to confirm the absence of residual or recurrent shunt. RESULTS Mean age was 6.0 years (range, 1 month-35 years), mean weight was 11.1 kg (range, 6-65 kg), and mean PDA diameter was 5.5 mm (range, 3-9 mm). Ninety-two percent of patients showed no ductal flow after a single clipping. In the other 8% of patients, residual flow was detected intraoperatively after a single clipping, but was eliminated by the second clipping. Twelve patients (0.6%) presented with residual ductal flow immediately after the operation (detected by color Doppler echocardiography), which was eliminated by thoracotomy before discharge. All patients left the hospital with echocardiography documenting no evidence of residual PDA. At follow-up, the incidence of residual patency was 0.2% (4 of 2000). CONCLUSIONS Our results demonstrate that the intraoperative esophageal stethoscope provides a remarkably effective technique for monitoring and evaluating PDA ligation by VATS, thus avoiding reintervention and the complications associated with residual ductal flow in most cases.

Abstract
Surgical closure of patent ductus arteriosus in adults involves a number of risks because there are associated anatomic and histologic alterations. Between October 1992 and August 2008, 23 patients were referred to our department with isolated patent ductus arteriosus. Their age ranged from 16-75 years (median 25.5 years) and their weight from 52-80 kg (median 57 kg). The pulmonary diameter ranged from 1.8-5.8 mm (mean 3.5 mm), and pulmonary artery pressure, from 9-72 mmHg (mean 15 mmHg). The rate of ductal occlusion achieved with the Rashkind patent ductus arteriosus occluder was 85.7%, and it was 100% with the Amplatzer duct occluder and the Nit-Occlud coil. The average hospitalization time and follow-up duration were 24 hours and 2 years, respectively. The only immediate complication was an inguinal hematoma, and there were no late complications. In adults, closure of patent ductus arteriosus using a number of different devices, especially the latest generation devices, was safe and effective, regardless of morphologic and histologic characteristics.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate the incidence of pre-existing catheterization left pulmonary artery (LPA) gradients and correlation of these gradients with later LPA stenosis after successful patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) occlusion. We performed a single-center review of 130 patients with PDA closure from October 1993 to February 2005. We analyzed the pre-PDA closure LPA pressure gradients at catheterization to determine if these were predictive of late LPA stenosis. On follow-up, a V (max) >2 m/s by echocardiogram (transthoracic echocardiography; TTE) was considered indicative of possible LPA stenosis. Left lung perfusion of <35% was considered diagnostic of significant LPA stenosis. Post PDA closure, possible LPA stenosis by TTE was seen in 8 of 128 patients (6.25%). Seven of these eight had precatheter LPA gradients >7 mm Hg. Five of these had perfusion scans, three of the five had significant LPA stenosis, and two underwent LPA angioplasty. Patients with LPA catheter gradients >7 mm Hg were more likely to have possible LPA stenosis by TTE, significant LPA stenosis by lung scan, and intervention with LPA angioplasty. In conclusion, a preclosure main pulmonary artery-to-LPA pressure gradient >7 mm Hg was found in all patients who developed significant LPA stenosis on follow-up after transcatheter PDA closure. It appears likely that these patients have LPA abnormality rather than stenosis caused by the PDA occlusion device. Patients with preclosure LPA gradients >7 mm Hg should undergo follow-up evaluations for detection of significant stenosis and may require treatment if an important flow abnormality is documented.

Abstract
There is a significant rate of residual or recurrent ductal patency after video-assisted thoracoscopic closure of patent ductus arteriosus. Between February 2000 and October 2004, this procedure was carried out on 145 consecutive patients in whom heart sounds were monitored intraoperatively with an esophageal stethoscope. Changes in continuous cardiac murmurs were recorded after placing the 1(st) and 2(nd) vascular clips. There was no ductal flow after clipping twice in 138 (95%) patients; in the other 7, residual flow was abolished at the 3(rd) attempt. All patients left the operating room with no residual ductal patency on echocardiography. After 6 months, there was no incidence of residual patency. Intraoperative esophageal stethoscopy provides remarkably loud and clear heart sounds for direct monitoring and reliable evaluation of the entire course of thoracoscopic patent ductus arteriosus closure, without interrupting the surgical procedure, thus avoiding re-intervention and complications associated with residual ductal flow.

Abstract
AIMS To report our experience and strategies with transcatheter closure of residual patent ductus arteriousus (RPDA) in patients with previous surgical ligation. METHODS AND RESULTS Transcatheter closure of residual patent ductus arteriousus after surgical ligation was attempted in 19 patients. In 13 patients the residual patent ductus arteriosus was closed with detachable coils, in four with Rashkind umbrella and in two with Amplatzer occluder. In order to cross the recanalised duct with the delivery system a vascular loop was required in six patients. Complete closure of residual ducts were achieved in all but one patient. CONCLUSION Transcatheter closure appears to be a safe and effective treatment for residual persistent duct. Coil implantation seems to be the best option in the case of smaller ducts, and in larger ones the Amplatzer Duct Occluder appears to be superior. Taking a meticulous approach to choosing the correct device should prevent ineffective treatment.

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
BACKGROUND Minimally invasive surgery for the closure of a large patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) using an extrapleural technique offers an alternative to other minimally invasive approaches such as video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery or interventional cardiologic procedures. METHODS Between August 1999 and December 2003, 513 patients with PDA were admitted to Unidad de Cirugia Cardiovascular de Guatemala, of whom 327 (64%) were considered surgical candidates. Of these, 218 (67%) were selected for surgical extrapleural (SEP) closure initially by weight (< 10 kg) and a ductal diameter at the pulmonary end of greater than 4 mm. Subsequently, we included also patients who weighed more than 10 kg. Median age at operation was 51 months (range 5 days to 38 years). RESULTS Median operating time was 32 minutes (range 23 to 52 minutes). All 218 patients had SEP closure and were extubated in the operating room. There were no hospital deaths. Two patients required a blood transfusion. Two additional patients bled postoperatively, requiring reoperation. A pneumothorax occurred in 3 patients that required a chest tube. The 6-month follow-up revealed residual ductal shunts in 2 patients that were closed percutaneously with a coil. The treatment of the remaining 295 patients included a surgical transpleural (STP) approach in 109 (37%) and transcatheter closure in 186 (63%), with a coil in 110 (37%) and an Amplatzer device in 76 (26%). CONCLUSIONS Minimally invasive closure of a PDA through a short, 3-cm to 5-cm skin and muscle-sparing posterior thoracotomy and an SEP approach provides a convenient and safe technique with a low incidence of complications and also a cost-saving option compared with other invasive techniques.
