Key result
Transcatheter device closure of patent ductus arteriosus in adults achieved a 100% procedural success rate and 100% full occlusion at 6 months, with marked symptomatic improvement.
Why the study?
Transcatheter closure of PDA in adults is challenging due to comorbidities, and outcomes on long and very long term follow-up needed evaluation.
Is transcatheter closure of patent ductus arteriosus safe and effective in adult patients?

Is transcatheter closure of patent ductus arteriosus safe and effective in adult patients?
Transcatheter closure of patent ductus arteriosus in adults is safe and effective, achieving high occlusion rates and symptom improvement over long-term follow-up.
Alkashkari et al. (2019) conducted an observational in Patent ductus arteriosus (n=27). Transcatheter device closure was evaluated on Procedural success. Transcatheter device closure of patent ductus arteriosus in adults achieved a 100% procedural success rate and 100% full occlusion at 6 months, with marked symptomatic improvement.
