✦ Synopsis

Abstract

We describe two cases in which a patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) was successfully occluded percutaneously, using the novel approach of prefilling an Amplatzer Vascular Plug® with embolization coils to decrease the risk of residual shunting through the device. One patient was a small premature neonate, and the other was a child with an aneurismal, tubular PDA with no aortic ampulla. These are situations in which more popular PDA devices such as the Amplatzer Duct Occluder® may be contraindicated. © 2008 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
