  • Title: Transcatheter closure of large patent ductus arteriosus using custom made devices.
    Author: Rohit MK, Gupta A.
    Journal: Catheter Cardiovasc Interv; 2017 May; 89(6):E194-E199. PubMed ID: 24323820.
    Abstract:
    There has been a paradigm shift in the transcatheter closure of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) over the last 45 years. With the availability of various coils, plugs and occluders, PDA of almost all shapes and sizes are amenable to transcatheter closure. However, very large PDA diagnosed late in life are being referred for surgical closure in the absence of availability of large size devices, especially in developing countries. In this case series, we have described four patients with large PDA, three of which were closed by transcatheter custom made PDA occluders. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
