| Popis: |
Percutaneous closure of a patent arterial duct was performed in 58 patients. A Rashkind double umbrella was inserted in 20 patients. A supplementary double umbrella or coils were implanted in four who had residual leaks after 12 months. Three complications: embolization, haemolysis and late bacteriaemia were managed successfully without surgery. A detachable PDA coil was inserted in 38 patients. Three coils embolized and one could not be retrieved. At complete follow-up of 28 patients the duct was closed in all. Median procedure duration and fluoroscopy time was 60 min. and 12 min. respectively for double umbrella implantation, and 20 min. and 5 min. for coil insertion. Transcatheter occlusion of the patent duct is effective and carries little morbidity. |
