Why the study?

Does transcatheter closure using Gianturco coils eliminate residual PDA shunting after Rashkind device placement in pediatric patients?

Structured PICO

Does transcatheter closure using Gianturco coils eliminate residual PDA shunting after Rashkind device placement in pediatric patients?

Population

5 patients (1 male/4 female) with residual patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) shunting after the Rashkind occluder device, median age 8.4 years, median weight 23 kg.

Intervention

Transcatheter closure using single or multiple Gianturco coils delivered via a 4F catheter.

Outcome

Immediate and short-term elimination of residual shunt assessed by angiography and echocardiography.surrogate

Transcatheter closure using Gianturco coils is an effective, safe, and low-cost outpatient therapy for residual PDA shunting after Rashkind device placement.

Discussion

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.

Implication

May support coil closure for residual PDA shunts; leaves open confirmation in larger prospective studies.
