Percutaneous closure of an aneurysmal patent ductus arteriosus in an adult

Catheter Cardiovasc Interv. 2010 Dec 1;76(7):1041-3. doi: 10.1002/ccd.22534.

Abstract

We report a case of a 24 year old woman with an aneurysmal patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) that was percutaneously closed using an Amplatzer Vascular Plug II. This is the first report of the successful use of an Amplatzer Vascular Plug II for a PDA, and suggests the feasibility and safety of its utilization in select cases.
