The Use of Transesophageal Echocardiography Monitoring of Transcatheter Closure of a Persistent Ductus Arteriosus

Abstract: We performed transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) with pediatric biplane probes throughout the procedure of transcatheter closure of the ductus arteriosus in 42 out of 46 patients who were scheduled for this intervention. Patient ages ranged from 15 months to 14 years and body weight from 9-53 kg. Both Rashkind double umbrella devices and coils were used. The described approach resulted in fewer contrast injections and was helpful in monitoring the procedure and in deciding when to release the device. To the… Show more

“…1 The ductus arteriosus connects the descending aorta to the main pulmonary trunk near the origin of the left subclavian artery. 5 Video assisted thoracoscopic (VAT) ligation is minimally invasive method and can be safely performed in children. 4 It can be closed surgically or by transcatheter methods.…”

“…Furthermore, 2D TEE had a stronger correlation to angiographic measurements than CD TEE. 22 FPNA and CD TTE provide a noninvasive means of approximating the quantitative residual ductal flow. CD TTE and TEE routinely overestimated angiographic minimum ductal diameter, a finding in agreement with a previous report in children.…”
