چکیده
OBJECTIVE To report outcomes in percutaneous ductal closure using the Amplatzer duct occluder type two (ADO II). METHODS Records of patients admitted for percutaneous closure of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) were reviewed. RESULTS From May 2009 to July 2012, 36 patients were assigned to closure using the ADO II. There were 21 females and 15 males. The median age was 16.5 (2-233) months; median weight, 8 (3.94-39.2) kg; and median height, 75 (55-166) cm. The mean pulmonary artery pressure was 24.4 (± 10.4) mmHg, the pulmonary blood flow:systemic blood flow (Qp:Qs) ratio was 2.25 (± 1.97), and mean pulmonary resistance (Rp) was 1.87 (± 1.28) Wood units. The mean ductal size was 2.74 (± 1.3) mm. In 30 patients the device was delivered through the pulmonary artery. Thirty-three patients achieved complete closure by discharge (day one). CONCLUSION The ADO II is capable of closing a wide range of ducts in carefully selected patients. Our findings are comparable with other studies regarding ductal closure rates.

Patent ductus arteriosus closure using Occlutech® Duct Occluder, experience in Port Elizabeth, South Africa
BACKGROUND Percutaneous closure of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) has become standard therapy. Experience with the Occlutech® Duct Occluder is limited. METHODS Data regarding ductal closure using Occlutech® Duct Occluder were reviewed and prospectively collected. Demographics, hemodynamic and angiographic characteristics, complications, and outcomes were documented. RESULTS From March 2013 ...
متن کاملSuccessful transcatheter closure of a residual patent ductus arteriosus with complex anatomy after surgical ligation using an amplatzer ductal occluder guided by live three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography.
Residual patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) after surgical ligation is not common, but the anatomy of the residual duct may be distorted by the surgical ligation resulting in a difficult transcatheter closure. Such distorted anatomy of the duct may not be demonstrated by the two-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (2D TEE). Fortunately, live 3D TEE provided the precise anatomy of the elong...
متن کاملComplementary Techniques of Percutaneous Closure of Ductus Arteriosus Using Detachable Cook Coils and Amplatzer Devices.
BACKGROUND Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) is a commoncardiac malformation whose treatment locally has been surgical ligation via a lateral thoracotomy. Device closure of the ductus was first performed at the Mater hospital in 1999 in a ten year old male using a five millilitre detachable cook coil. In 2000 the Amplatzer device was introduced to close larger ducts. Subsequently these devices hav...
متن کاملSurgical repair of tricuspid valve leaflet tear following percutaneous closure of perimembranous ventricular septal defect using Amplatzer duct occluder I: Report of two cases
Tricuspid valve (TV) injury following transcatheter closure of perimembranous ventricular septal defect (PMVSD) with Amplatzer ductal occluder I (ADO I), requiring surgical repair, is rare. We report two cases of TV tear involving the anterior and septal leaflets following PMVSD closure using ADO I. In both the patients, the subvalvular apparatus remained unaffected. The patients presented with...
متن کامل[Right patent ductus arteriosus with an ipsilateral aortic arch: percutaneous closure with amplatzer devices].
The association of a right aortic arch with an ipsilateral patent ductus arteriosus is rare, especially when there are no other intracardiac anomalies. We report three female patients aged 26, 35 and 9 years with this combination in whom previous attempts at surgical closure by thoracotomy and sternotomy were unsuccessful and who subsequently underwent successful percutaneous closure of the def...
