Background: The percutaneous closure of a patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) has been considered the treatment of choice by most authors, and several devices with different structural characteristics have been used. The initial experience with the novel Cera TM PDA Occluder is reported. Methods: From March of 2010 through December of 2011, patients weighing over 5 kg with a PDA diagnosed by transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) with colour Doppler flow mapping and no associated defects underwent the procedure. Follow-up was performed by TTE one, three, and six months after the procedure, and yearly thereafter. Results: Overall, 18 patients were referred for percutaneous occlusion; 61.2% were female. The mean age and weight were 13.7 ± 9.3 years and 42.9 ± 20.1 kg, respectively. Regarding morphology, 11 were type A, six were type E, and one had a residual postoperative defect. The mean diameter was 4.2 mm. Implantation was possible in all patients. Ten 6-4 mm, one 8-6 mm, three 10-8 mm, and four 12-10 mm devices were used. All defects were completely closed by the first follow-up TTE. Deaths or complications were not observed in this series. Conclusions: The Cera TM prosthesis may be used for the occlusion of small or large defects, and delivers to excellent results in children and adults. The procedure is easy, safe, has a high efficacy and low morbidity, and may be an excellent option for the percutaneous closure of a PDA. Due to its flexibility, oversized devices greater than 2 mm should be used.
