Abstract/OtherAbstract:
BACKGROUND: Transcatheter coil closure (TCC) is safe and effective for most patients with PDA, but coil associated complications may occasionally be encountered. For occlusion of minimal PDA (<1 mm), we employed a closure protocol with guidewire and catheter manipulation. METHODS: Between April 2000 and September 2004, 38 patients with a minimal PDA were classified into two groups according to the occlusion method at our institution. Group A consisted of 11 patients (age range 0.7 to 3.5 years; mean age 1.6 years) who underwent guidewire and catheter manipulation. Group B consisted of 27 patients (age range 0.5 to 2.7 years; mean age 1.3 years) who underwent TCC of PDA. RESULTS: In group A (a PDA 0.4-0.9 mm), 9 (82%) patients had successful closure, and two (18%) patients failed the manipulation. No patient had complications during the procedure or follow-up. In group B (a PDA 0.5-0.9 mm), 26 (96%) patients had successful closure and 1 (4%) patient failed the attempt at TCC. No adverse events of coil closure was found during follow-up. Compared to the patients in group B, those in group A differed significantly in terms of procedure time. There were no significant differences in age, sex, body weight, PDA size, fluoroscopy time, success rate, and complication rate. CONCLUSIONS: Our results indicate that the manipulation is safe and effective for patients with minimal PDA. The manipulation technique can be tried before TCC in patients with minimal PDA.
