Delayed Fracture of a PFM Nit-Occlud Flex Coil after Transcatheter Occlusion of Patent Ductus Arteriosus
نویسنده
چکیده
We report the fracture of a 4×4 Nit-Occlud pfm coil in a child with patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), bicuspid aortic valve, and coarctation, detected three years after deployment without any adverse consequent. This report emphasizes the importance of adherence to the user guidelines of the company for the implementation of the device and also shows the significance of lateral chest X-ray in the follow-up of patients after the occlusion of the PDA, particularly in the case of using smallersized, frail pfm coils for the detection of coil fracture (Iranian Heart Journal 2011; 12 (1):56 -59).

Clinical outcome of transcatheter closure of patent ductus arteriosus in small children weighing 10 kg or less
PURPOSE Transcatheter closure has become an effective therapy in most patients with patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). However, there are difficulties in transcatheter closure of PDA in small children. We reviewed clinical outcomes of transcatheter closure of PDA in children weighing less than 10 kg in a single center. METHODS Between January 2003 and December 2009, 314 patients with PDA underwe...

Between May 2003 and July 2006, we carried out percutaneous patent ductus arteriosus closure using a Nit-Occlud device in 28 patients, who had a median age of 1.8 years (range 0.5-21 years) and a median weight of 10.9 kg (range 5.9-64 kg). The ductus arteriosus had several different morphologic forms, and there was one postsurgical recanalization of the ductus arteriosus. The median minimum duc...

Surgical closure of patent ductus arteriosus in adults involves a number of risks because there are associated anatomic and histologic alterations. Between October 1992 and August 2008, 23 patients were referred to our department with isolated patent ductus arteriosus. Their age ranged from 16-75 years (median 25.5 years) and their weight from 52-80 kg (median 57 kg). The pulmonary diameter ran...

BACKGROUND Transcatheter patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) closure is an established procedure. OBJECTIVES The aim of the study was to assess midterm follow up of the Nit-Occlud coil and the amplatzer ductal occluder (ADO) closure of PDA. PATIENTS AND METHODS In this cohort study, we collected the longitudinal data of patients who underwent percutaneous closure using coil or ADO from November ...
متن کاملSuccessful transcatheter balloon dilatation of coarctation of aorta and coil occlusion of patent ductus arteriosus in a single catheterization procedure.
Simultaneous transcatheter coil occlusion of patent ductus arteriosus and balloon angioplasty of coarctation of aorta is avoided since intimal tearing after angioplasty is believed to increase the risk for dissection of the aorta during catheter manipulation. We report a 14-month-old boy, with weight of 7.6 kg, with aortic coarctation and patent ductus arteriosus with a large left-to-right shun...
