Transcatheter occlusion of the persistently patent ductus arteriosus. Forty-month follow-up and prevalence of residual shunting.

Abstract: Catheter occlusion will obviate the need for surgery in the majority of patients presenting with persistently patent ductus arteriosus. Reocclusion has been found feasible in those with continuous murmurs (nine of nine) and should be offered early because it is unlikely for spontaneous closure to occur in this group. It appears prudent to follow those with small residual shunting because further spontaneous closure can occur.

“…12 In this study, the degree of left-to-right shunting before or after the procedure was not assessed. All patients at the time of discharge from the catheterisation laboratory had no shunt murmur suggesting a significant reduction (or complete elimination) of flow through the arterial duct.…”

“…n Percutaneous transcathether closure of the arterial duct is used widely and is a safe, effective alternative to surgical closure. 12,13 To investigate the impact of closure of a persistently patent arterial duct on CBFV, cerebral haemodynamics were assessed during transcatheter duct occlusion in childhood.…”

“…However, the approach of a ductus arteriosus larger than 3-3.5mm with this method, in addition to the association with a greater rate of embolism, requires adaptations in the implantation technique, multiple devices, and the use of coils for controlled delivery or larger in size [6][7][8][9][10] . The Rashkind umbrella, better indicated for these situations 3 , was recently withdrawn from the market because of its significant degree of residual shunt 11 . After the publication of the results of convincing experimental studies 12 , the Amplatzer prosthesis for percutaneous occlusion of ductus arteriosus was introduced for clinical application with encouraging results 13,14 .…”

“…Subsequently, a number of devices and coils have been used for catheter closure of PDA with varying degrees of success [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25]. The major drawbacks of these devices and coils are the high incidence of residual shunt, the sometimes complex delivery systems and their unsuitability for larger PDAs.…”
