Key result
Transcatheter occlusion with the Duct-Occlud device achieved 94% closure by color flow Doppler at 1 year in patients with restrictive patent ductus arteriosus, with no complications.
Why the study?
Does transcatheter occlusion with the Duct-Occlud device safely and effectively close restrictive patent ductus arteriosus?
Does transcatheter occlusion with the Duct-Occlud device safely and effectively close restrictive patent ductus arteriosus?
The Duct-Occlud device is safe and highly effective for transcatheter closure of small- to moderate-size patent ductus arteriosus, achieving 94% closure at 1 year.

Supports Duct-Occlud for restrictive PDA closure; leaves open need for randomized comparative trials.
Moore et al. (2001) studied patent ductus arteriosus (n=62). Duct-Occlud device was evaluated on Closure assessed by color flow Doppler at 1 year. Transcatheter occlusion with the Duct-Occlud device achieved 94% closure by color flow Doppler at 1 year in patients with restrictive patent ductus arteriosus, with no complications.
