A case of adult patient ductus arteriosus with congestive heart failure and severe mitral regurgitation.

A 46-year-old woman presented herself at the hospital with progressive effort dyspnea and lower limbs edema which she had had for 3 months. She had a history of surgical ligation of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) at the age of 25-year-old. A transthoracic cardiac ultrasonography showed left ventricular dilatation, severe functional mitral regurgitation, and a recurrent shunt of PDA. Percutaneous coil closure of PDA was performed and 6 months after the procedure, resolution of functional mitral regurgitation and normalization of left atrial and ventricular sizes were achieved.
