Coil Occlusion for Patent Ductus Arteriosus Larger Than 3 mm

Coil occlusion for patent ductus arteriosus larger than 3 mm.

BACKGROUND Coil occlusion of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is now widely accepted as the first-line treatment, but there are few reports of age-dependent differences in the complications associated with this technique. METHODS AND RESULTS Sixteen patients (11 adults, 5 children) with a PDA larger than 3 mm, who underwent coil occlusion at Sapporo Medical University Hospital between September...

Reopening after successful coil occlusion for patent ductus arteriosus.

OBJECTIVES This study was performed to determine the frequency of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) reopening and the factors that may predict reopening after successful coil occlusion. BACKGROUND Transcatheter coil occlusion is a widely used and accepted method to close a PDA. After documented successful coil occlusion, we found PDAs that reopened. We hypothesized that specific factors are invo...

Intravenous Paracetamol and Patent Ductus Arteriosus Closure

Background: Standard medical treatments for patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) closure are, including indomethacin/ibuprofen and surgical ligation. Nowadays, a new strategy to close PDA is the use of paracetamol. The present study aimed to describe the use of intravenous (IV) paracetamol for PDA closure in neonates who present a contraindication to ibuprofen or ibuprofen failure with no possibility...
