Successful Closure of a Patent Ductus Arteriosus Using an Aortic Stent Graft
2012
Closure of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in the elderly is a high-risk procedure due to the fragility of the aorta and aneurysmal changes in the ductus. Stent grafting has emerged as a method for treating aortic disease. We describe a case in which this endovascular technique was successfully performed for closure of a PDA with aneurismal change in a high-risk patient. This approach may comprise the armamentarium for treating this pathology in adults.
