Does a modified transvenous approach with the Rashkind PDA Occluder allow for safe and successful outpatient closure in children with uncomplicated PDA?
A modified transvenous approach using the Rashkind PDA Occluder allows for safe and effective outpatient closure of uncomplicated patent ductus arteriosus in children.
Wessel et al. (1988) conducted an observational in Patent ductus arteriosus (n=23). Modified transvenous approach with Rashkind PDA Occluder was evaluated on Successful closure. Modified outpatient transvenous closure of patent ductus arteriosus using the Rashkind PDA Occluder was successful in 100% of 23 children, with 19 discharged on the same day.
