Percutaneous Closure of Window-Type Patent Ductus Arteriosus With the AMPLATZERTM Septal Occluder

Authorship SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

For several years the percutaneous closure of patent ductus arteriosus has been a reliable and effective technique for most of the morphologic variants described by Krichenko. Type B, or window-type, patent ductus arteriosus remains a challenge due to the higher risk of device embolizations and incomplete occlusions. We report the successful use of AMPLATZERTM septal occluder in three patients with window-type patent ductus arteriosus, two cases treated with a 5-mm device and one case with a 7-mm device. The AMPLATZERTM device designed for the occlusion of atrial septal defects is effective for the percutaneous treatment of this morphological variant of patent ductus arteriosus.
