    Author: Gupta A, Russal Starlet A, Shrivastava Y, Jhalani I.
    Journal: BMJ Case Rep; 2023 Oct 19; 16(10):. PubMed ID: 37857537.
    Abstract:
    Percutaneous closure of patent ductus arteriosus using a duct occluder has become standard of care in its management especially in children more than 6 months of age, weighing more than 6 kg but device embolisation is a potential life-threatening complication and may require immediate open-heart surgery. We describe a case of successful surgical management of a patient in early childhood, in which device has embolised deep into the right pulmonary artery.
