Abstract
BACKGROUND: Transcatheter closure of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) with various devices has been evaluated worldwide and in selected cases can be performed successfully, thus avoiding the morbidity associated with surgical closure. METHODS AND RESULTS: A 2 year old female child presented with PDA and aortic angiography showed large PDA (tubular). This defect can be closed nonsurgically by coils and devices. The coil used are normally 0.038" having delivery system called Flipper, but this child had a large PDA and so was closed by thicker coil 0.052" using a coil-Bioptome-sheath system, which is the first reported case from the Armed Forces. CONCLUSIONS: We report the initial experience at our center of closure of PDA with a new coil-Bioptome-sheath system.
