Key result
Transcatheter coil occlusion of a patent ductus arteriosus in an infant with Marfan syndrome was complicated by the development of a giant aneurysm.
Why the study?
Does PDA coil occlusion cause giant aneurysm in infants with Marfan syndrome?
Does PDA coil occlusion cause giant aneurysm in infants with Marfan syndrome?
PDA coil occlusion in infants with Marfan syndrome may lead to severe complications such as giant aneurysm, highlighting the need for careful pre- and post-procedural evaluation.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Alerts to aneurysm risk after PDA coiling in Marfan infants; hypothesis-generating and precludes practice change.
A case is described in which a giant aneurysm developed following successful PDA coil occlusion in an infant with Marfan syndrome. This rare and severe complication brings into question the need for careful evaluation of these children before and after transcatheter occlusion. Cathet. Cardiovasc. Intervent. 50:186–189, 2000.
