Closure of patent ductus arteriosus with oversized Amplatzer occluder in a patient with pulmonary hypertension

Abstract: Diagnosis of patent ductus arteriosus is rare in adulthood. Closure of ductus is difficult when diagnosed at an adult age due to the development of pulmonary hypertension and pulmonary arterial disease that generally occurs. Closure of the ductus might be contraindicated, as it may lead to deterioration of the pulmonary arterial perfusion or to a pulmonary hypertensive crisis. In addition, another risk associated with percutaneous closure for these patients is the risk of embolism of the asymmetrically shaped … Show more

“…Percutaneous closure of type C PDA is challenged by difficulty in satisfactorily stabilizing the prosthesis due to lack of a sufficient ampulla 5,6 . The ADO-I devices, which have an asymmetric design that allows its skirt to be positioned within the aortic ampulla, leads to the risk of displacement or embolization in the aorta 22,23 in type C PDA, especially with high PA pressure, which is frequently seen in those with CRS. Symmetrically designed devices such as the ADO-II 24 , which has two retention discs that are positioned on both sides of the duct, or occluders for atrial septal defects or muscular ventricular septal defects 25 , are usually used in the hospital for type C PDA to avoid this complication.…”

“…The PDA is muscular only during infancy, when it is more elastic. Therefore, the diameter of the selected occluder should be larger than measured diameter [11]. In our department, we choose occluders that are 4-6 mm larger than the measured diameter.…”
