## Abstract Objectives: The present study evaluates two transcatheter closure strategies utilized at a single center and makes recommendations for device selection when occluding the patent ductus arteriosus. Background: A variety of devices are available for transcatheter closure of the patent duc
We describe our early experience with a new technique involving temporary balloon occlusion for transcatheter closure of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) using single or multiple Gianturco coils. Coil occlusion was attempted in 21 patients of median age 3 (range 1-11) years, and angiographic PDA diame
asymptomatic patients were identified with hypoplasia of the aortic isthmus at the time of cardiac catheterization for closure of a small patent ductus arteriosus. lsthmal diameters measured from lateral aortograms were 62 -t 11% of age-matched controls. All patients had a small communication occlud
We evaluated the immediate and intermediate follow-up results of transcatheter closure (TCC) of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) using Gianturco coils in children weighing F10 kg. The results of PDA I2.5 mm (group I, n โซุโฌ 18) and G2.5 mm (group II, n โซุโฌ 16) were compared. Coils were deployed sequent
