β¦ Synopsis
A 4-month-old, intact female mixed-breed dog presented to the Purdue University Veterinary Teaching Hospital for evaluation of a cardiac murmur. A large left-to-right patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) was diagnosed and interventional correction was achieved with a commercially available peripheral vascular occlusion device (VOD). The VOD is composed of a nitinol wire mesh and is similar in composition and shape to a commercially available human PDA occluder, however, it can be deployed through smaller delivery catheters and is much less expensive. The product and procedural details of the device are described.

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 β«Ψβ¬ 18) and G2.5 mm (group II, n β«Ψβ¬ 16) were compared. Coils were deployed sequent
