Abstract In older adults with patent ductus arteriosus, CT is widely used for duct visualisation because angiography images can be inadequate for evaluation. We report the case of a 73-year-old woman with a highly calcified patent ductus arteriosus whose CT images were insufficient for accurate measurement. Intravascular ultrasonography is useful for sizing of and guiding device closure of the duct.

Background: Transcatheter closure of Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) has become the first-choice therapy for closure in patients of any age group. Authors reviewed the outcome of device closure in all age groups starting from neonate to adult.Methods: From December 2014 to December 2019, 440 cases underwent transcatheter closure in a catheterization laboratory of a tertiary level cardiac hospital. Selection criteria were isolated PDA or PDA with associated conditions which can be managed in the same setting by an intervention. Exclusion criteria were proven Eisenmenger syndrome. A retrospective review of outcome and complications were recorded from computerized data records.Results: Age of the patient varied from 10 days to 65 years. The median age was 3 years. Most of the patients were female (63%), weight varied from 1.8 kg to 75 kg. the median weight was 7.5 kg. Isolated PDA cases were 74.77 %. Among syndromes, congenital rubella syndrome was common (7.5%), followed by Down Syndrome (6.36%). The narrowest PDA diameter varied for 1.8 mm - 14 mm with a median of 5 mm. Among duct occluders, 8x6 mm CeraTM was the commonest one used in the study population. Complete occlusion was observed in 99.55% of cases.Conclusions: Transcatheter closure of PDA is considered safe and efficacious in all age groups. It is the gold standard now and replaced surgical option in most of the places.

Background and Aims: Transcatheter closure of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) using either coils or device is a well-established procedure. PDA is one of the common congenital heart diseases and it is not uncommon for it to be diagnosed in adulthood. However, only few studies are conducted in our part of the world regarding the safety and procedural success of device closure of PDA in adults. We aim to assess safety and procedural success of transcatheter closure of PDA in adults at Shahid Gangalal National Heart Centre, Kathmandu, Nepal. Methods: It was a single center, retrospective study. Cardiac catheterization laboratory records of all consecutive adult patients (age ≥ 18 years) who underwent PDA device closure between March 2007 to March 2020 were reviewed. Patients age, gender, device size and device type along with procedural success of the procedure were reviewed. Any complication recorded was reviewed. Results: During the study period 118 adult patients were attempted for transcatheter closure of PDA. In three cases transcatheter closure was not attempted. In one patients attempt was made to close the duct with cook coil which embolized to pulmonary artery. PDA was successfully closed in 114 patients. Among the 114 patients, 87 were females and 27 were male. Age ranged from 18 to 69 years with mean age was 29.5 years. PDA size ranged from 3mm to 18mm with the mean of 6.9mm. In two patients, residual PDA after surgical closure were closed. Amplatzer duct occluder was the most commonly used device used in 89 (78%) patients followed by Memopart PDA device in 11 (9.6%) patients, Amplatzer Muscular VSD occluder in four patients. Device size of “8x10” in 32 patients and “10x12” device in 29 patients, were the most commonly used device size. Conclusion: Transcatheter closure of PDA in adults can safely be done with high success rate.

Abstract Background Transcatheter closure of intracardiac defects might be complicated by intravascular hemolysis. We evaluated hemolysis and its outcome after transcatheter closure of these defects. Methods and patients All patients who underwent transcatheter closure of patent ductus arteriosus, ventricular septal defect and atrial septal defect were included in this prospective study. Clinical data were obtained before and after the catheterization. Results One hundred and thirty-eight patients were enrolled; and four (3%) patients developed intravascular hemolysis; while two cases had residual shunt and two other cases had not residual flow. Although residual shunt occurred in ten patients, only 2 of these cases developed hemolysis. Patent ductus arteriosus closure was done for one of these cases and the other one, underwent perimembranous ventricular septal defect closure. Moreover, hemolysis occurred after device closure of patent ductus arteriosus in 2 of the other patients with no residual shunt. In this study the hemolysis was eliminated by conservative management within 2 weeks although residual shunt continued in this time. We observed a decline in lactate dehydrogenase value after catheterization in comparison with precatheterization, which was mainly among ventricular septal defect patients that might be due to mild chronic hemolysis in these patients. Conclusion Incidence of hemolysis after device closure was low, and occurred with and without residual flow and was eliminated by conservative management in 2 weeks, without the need for surgery, although the residual shunt was continued.

AbstractDuctal arterial spasm is a very potentially dangerous incidence during percutaneous device closure of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), which, otherwise, is a very safe catheter intervention. It is essential to notice its occurrence before device sizing and deploying. Without awareness, it can mislead device selection and can result in serious complication. In this report, we shared our nightmare of ductal spasm during transcatheter closure of PDA in two children which had led to death in one patient.

Isolated patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is seen in approximately 1 in 2000 full-term life birth neonate. Transcatheter device closure is widely considered as the treatment of choice for the patient diagnosed with PDA considering the safety, efficacy and less invasiveness. Residual flow following transcatheter device closure of PDA can result in haemolysis. Our patient was a case of 9.5 years old female child weighing13 kg diagnosed as a case of large tubular PDA with severe pulmonary hypertension by echocardiography. The patient had history of recurrent chest infection, breathlessness on exertion, and growth failure. The PDA was closed by transcatheter approach using Cera-duct occluder. The patient subsequently developed hemolysis which started 18 hrs after the intervention and the resolution of hemolysis achieved by conservative management within 72 hours. JAFMC Bangladesh.
