Radiation Dose Exposure to Patients During Transcatheter Patent Ductus Arteriosus Closure via the Arterial Route

Abstract: This study aims to evaluate the radiation dose for transcatheter patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) via the arterial route and compare it with previously published benchmarks. BackgroundExposure to radiation in the catheterization lab can cause skin injury and cancer in the long run, especially in pediatric patients with complex heart conditions, which necessitate serial catheterizations.
