“…Depending on the size and shape of PDA, various types of devices have been used in transcatheter closure of PDA. For most children and adult with PDA, safe and effective transcatheter closure of PDA has been achieved with ADO2,5,14,15). Also, varying sizes of PDA had been occluded with the use of single or multiple coils3,16).…”

“…From our findings, the size of AVP can be considered less than 200% of the aortic end diameter and 250% of middle portion of small tubular PDA. In a report regarding the use of AVP II devices for two cases of PDA closure15), 10-mm AVP II was used for a PDA with a minimum diameter of 5.5 mm (180% of the minimum PDA diameter), and in the second case, 8-mm AVP II was used in a PDA with a minimum diameter of 3.5 mm (230% of the minimum PDA diameter).…”

PurposeThe purpose of this study was to share our experience of transcatheter closure of small patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) by using an Amplatzer vascular plug (AVP).MethodsWe reviewed the medical records of 20 patients who underwent transcatheter closure at Samsung Medical Center and Sejong General Hospital from January 2008 to August 2012. The size and shape of the PDAs were evaluated by performing angiograms, and the PDA size and the AVP devices size were compared.ResultsThe mean age of the patients was 54.9±45.7 months old. The PDAs were of type C (n=5), type D (n=12), and type E (n=3). The mean pulmonary end diameter of the PDA was 1.7±0.6 mm, and the aortic end diameter was 3.6±1.4 mm. The mean length was 7.3±1.8 mm. We used 3 types of AVP devices: AVP I (n=5), AVP II (n=7), and AVP IV (n=8). The ratio of AVP size to the pulmonary end diameter was 3.37±1.64, and AVP size/aortic end ratio was 1.72±0.97. The aortic end diameter was significantly larger in those cases repaired with AVP II than in the others (P=0.002). The AVP size did not significantly correlate with the PDA size, but did correlate with smaller ratio of AVP size to aortic end diameter (1.10±0.31, P=0.032).ConclusionTranscatheter closure of small PDA with AVP devices yielded satisfactory outcome. AVP II was equally effective with smaller size of device, compared to others.

Closure of Tubular Patent Ductus Arteriosus in Infants and Small Children with the Amplatzer Vascular Plug II

Abstract: Percutaneous closure of a tubular patent ductus arteriosus can be challenging in the infant and small child. In this report, we describe the successful closure of tubular patent ductus arteriosus with the Amplatzer Vascular Plug II in two patients, ages 3 months and 13 months.
