background: the transcatheter closure of patent ductus arteriosus has advanced rapidly with improvements in device designs. the aim of this study was to analyze the safety, efficacy, and early and intermediate follow-up results of the percutaneous closure of persistent ductus arteriosus (pda) with the amplatzer ductal occluder (ado) in children.   methods: between may 2004 and march 2007, fifty...

Ninety-four patients with patent ductus arteriosus, whose ages ranged from 28 weeks gestation to 8 years, were assessed by suprasternal cross-sectional echocardiography. A further group of 37 cases without a patent ductus arteriosus were assessed by the same technique. The appearances of the ductus via this approach varied according to the ventriculoarterial connections. Reliable assessment of ...

An apical mid-diastolic murmur is sometimes audible in patients with a patent ductus arteriosus (Nadas and Alimurung, 1952) but differentiation from organic mitral stenosis is usually not difficult. The patient described in this paper presented with typical murmurs of isolated mitral stenosis and the correct diagnosis of patent ductus arteriosus and trivial mitral stenosis was made only at oper...

SUMMARY Left vocal cord paralysis in association with patent ductus arteriosus is unusual. We report a patient with long-standing patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in whom CT studies obtained before and after paralysis developed showed an interval increase in size of the pulmonary trunk. The pathogenesis of left vocal cord paralysis in association with long-standing PDA is discussed.

Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) adalah penyakit jantung kongenital yang disebabkan oleh gagal menutupnya ductus arteriosus dan menyebabkan abnormalitas aliran darah dari aorta menuju arteri pulmonalis. Kondisi tersebut mengakibatkan berlebihnya volume dalam sirkulasi paru-paru, atrium kiri, ventrikel kiri dapat berkontribusi pada terjadinya kongestif. Tulisan ini melaporkan seekor anjing Toy Poo...

The inability to differentiate accurately between patent ductus arteriosus and aortopulmonary window may occasionally result in finding an aortopulmonary window while prepared to close a patent ductus arteriosus at left thoracotomy. Anatomic and technical factors now allow aortopulmonary window closure from the left chest using surgical clips in certain selected cases. The successful repair of ...

BACKGROUND Several devices are available for transcatheter occlusion of patent ductus arteriosus. Most of these devices either require complicated intracardiac maneuvering, have not been tried in humans, or need a large-sized sheath for implantation of the device. METHODS AND RESULTS During a 26-month period ending November 1992, 14 patients underwent transcatheter closure of patent ductus ar...

Aim According to experimental studies, cardiopulmonary distress decreases after closure of patent ductus arteriosus. However, early the using ibuprofen or indomethacin has failed increase survival without serious morbidity. We review relevant data aiming define optimal management strategies that promote arteriosus adverse effects. Methods Literature in English was searched selectively focusing ...

Despite the revolutionary changes that occurred in percutaneous Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) closure, classical angiographic Krichenko classification of PDA remained unchanged and its implications on ductal closure has not been frequently studied.

We report a case of 10-year-old male patient with pulmonary artery aneurysm (PAA) caused by infective endarteritis the attributed to patent ductus arteriosus. He was found have arteriosus at age 2, but he not treated because absence symptoms and normal physical development. sought medical attention for fever cough in August 2022. Echocardiography showed aneurysm, intrapulmonary bulge, arteriosu...
