2015年5月4日 · Coil embolization of Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) is one of the options for non-surgical closure of ductus. The other non-surgical option is device closure with Amplatzer PDA occluder. Coil embolisation can be done using single or multiple coils, depending on the size of the ductus and ampulla.

Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is a heart defect found in the days or weeks after birth. The ductus arteriosus is a normal part of fetal blood circulation before a baby is born. It’s an extra blood vessel that connects 2 arteries: the pulmonary artery and the aorta.

2010年5月9日 · Coil selection for PDA closure. At least one coil (if multiple coils are used) should be more than twice the size of the duct. At least 2.5 to 3 loops of the coil should be there in the ampulla.

2025年1月29日 · The plug or coil closes the patent ductus arteriosus. The treatment doesn't usually need an overnight hospital stay. Premature babies are too small for catheter treatments.

In this article, we review the published literature on the natural history and treatment outcomes in individuals with a PDA, the epidemiology and outcomes of IE, particularly in association with PDA, and the rationale and evidence for closure of the very small PDA.

While coil occlusion is well accepted for the small patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), occlusive devices are preferred for the larger (> 3 mm) ducts by most institutions. Because of costs concerns, occlusive devices are not always realistic in many countries.

2006年10月24日 · The patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is a vascular structure that connects the proximal descending aorta to the roof of the main pulmonary artery near the origin of the left branch pulmonary artery. This essential fetal structure normally closes spontaneously after birth.

Transcatheter closure of patent ductus arteriosus is now a well established therapeutic option. In this paper, we illustrate step by step the technique of Flipper coil closure of small (<3mm) ducts.

1997年5月1日 · Surgical correction of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is a low-risk procedure in children. However, it usually involves left lateral thoracotomy, general anesthesia, and chest tube placement after operation.

2001年3月1日 · Percutaneous coil closure of the persistently patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) has gained wide acceptance as an alternative to surgical closure. 1–4 Using a canine model, a new device 5 —the Gianturco-Grifka vascular occlusion device (GGVOD; Cook, Inc., Bloomington, Indiana)—was first used in 1995 to close vascular communications.
