Transcatheter closure of patent ductus arteriosus using the Amplatzer duct occluder: initial results and mid-term follow-up

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: Transcatheter closure of patent ductus arteriosus is a well-established procedure. The aim of this study was to assess the initial and mid-term results of the treatment of PDA with the Amplatzer duct occluder. PATIENTS AND METHODS: From October 1999 to December 2001, 30 children underwent transcatheter closure of persistent ductus arteriosus at a mean SD age of 5 4.02 years (range: 3 months to 14 years) and weight of 20.3 10.3 kg (range: 4.5-45 kg). Infants under 10 kg weight made up 46% of total patients. A lateral view aortogram was made to determine the morphology of the ductus and select the size of the device. Occlusion was achieved using the anterograde venous approach. Follow-up evaluations were made with chest X-ray and echocardiogram at 24 hours and 1, 4 and 12 months after implantation. RESULTS: Twenty-eight patients (93.3%) immediately achieved complete occlusion, and on color Doppler examination the closure rate was 100% within 24 hours of implantation. There was no device embolization. In the follow-up, a 19-month-old patient developed a 20 mmHg gradient across the aortic arch. CONCLUSIONS: Patent ductus arteriosus can be easily occluded with the Amplatz Duct Occluder, which is effective and particularly useful in infants and children with relatively large PDA. Further experience and long-term follow-up are still needed to assess the safety of this device in smaller children.     

The Amplatzer duct occluder: experience in 209 patients

OBJECTIVES: The aim of the study was to assess the safety and efficacy of the Amplatzer ductal occluder (ADO) in transcatheter occlusion of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). BACKGROUND: Transcatheter closure of small to moderate sized PDAs is an established procedure. The ADO is a self-expandable device with a number of salutary features, notably its retrievability, ease of delivery via small 5F to 7F catheters and a range of sizes suitable even for the larger PDAs. METHODS: Between November 1997 and August 1999, the ADO was successfully implanted in 205 of 209 patients with PDA. The inclusion criteria for this device occlusion method were patients with clinical and echocardiographic features of moderate to large PDA, weighing > or =3.5 kg as well as asymptomatic adolescents and adults with PDA measuring > or =5.0 mm on two-dimensional (2D) echocardiogram. Occlusion was achieved via the antegrade venous approach. Follow-up evaluations were performed with 2D echocardiogram, color-flow mapping and Doppler measurement of the descending aorta and left pulmonary artery velocity at 24 h and 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after implantation. RESULTS: Two hundred and five patients had successful PDA occlusion using this device. The patients were between two months and 50 years (median 1.9) and weighed between 3.4 kg and 63.2 (median 8.4). Infants made up 26% of the total patients. The PDA measured from 1.8 to 12.5 mm (mean 4.9) at the narrowest diameter. Forty-four percent of patients achieved immediate complete occlusion. On color Doppler the closure rates at 24 h and 1 month after implant were 66% and 97%, respectively. At 6 and 12 months all except one patient attained complete occlusion. Device embolization occurred in three patients; in two this was spontaneous, and in the other it was due to catheter manipulation during postimplant hemodynamic measurement. Mild aortic narrowing was seen in an infant. CONCLUSIONS: Patent ductus arteriosus occlusion using ADO is safe and efficacious. It is particularly useful in symptomatic infants and small children with relatively large PDA. Embolization can be minimized by selection of appropriate sized devices, and caution should be exercised in infants <5 kg.     

Transcatheter closure of patent ductus arteriosus in adults using the Amplatzer duct occluder: initial results and follow-up

BACKGROUND: Surgical closure of patent ductus arteriosus in adult patients may be problematic. Transcatheter closure of patent ductus arteriosus is an established procedure. Recently, transcatheter closure of patent ductus arteriosus using the Amplatzer duct occluder has been shown to be safe and efficacious. We present our experience with this device in adults. METHODS AND RESULTS: Between January 2000 and January 2002,41 adult patients (31 females and 10 males) with a patent ductus arteriosus were referred for closure with the Amplatzer duct occluder. The median age was 35.6 years (range 18-70.7 years) and the median weight was 65.8 kg (range 32.7-164.5 kg). Of these 41 patients, 37 underwent attempted closure of the patent ductus arteriosus using the Amplatzer duct occluder. The device was successfully deployed in all patients except 1. Complete angiographic closure was seen Immediately after device deployment in 29 out of 36 patients (81%). Complete echocardiographic closure was demonstrated within 24 hours post-procedure in 34 out of 36 patients (94%), and at 6-month follow-up in 35 out of 36 patients (97%). No complications related to device implantation occurred in any patient. CONCLUSIONS: Closure of patent ductus arteriosus using the Amplatzer duct occluder is safe and effective in adults.     

Advances in interventional occlusion of persistent ductus arteriosus: comparison of results using different occlusion devices

This report describes our results with transcatheter closure of patent ductus arteriosus between March 1993 and May 2000 including our early experience with the Amplatzer duct occluder. One hundred and sixty-six consecutive procedures were performed in 160 patients. The mean age was 6.8 years (range 0.8 to 26.2), mean weight 24.3 kg (range 7.7 to 84.0). Single or multiple coils were implanted successfully in 114 cases, a Rashind double umbrella in 35 patients, and an Amplatzer duct occluder in 16 patients. After failure to implant coils in one patient, a second attempt with a Rashkind double umbrella was successful. Complete closure of the patent ductus arteriosus was achieved in a total of 148 patients (92.5%), mean fluoroscopy time was 13.7 min (range 3.1 to 126 min). In 144 patients (90.0%), occlusion without residual shunting was achieved by the first interventional approach. Angiography showed immediate closure in 44%, echocardiography within 48 h revealed complete closure in additional 28%. In a further 18%, a residual shunt disappeared spontaneously in the following months. In five patients a second procedure was performed to terminate residual shunting after placement of a Rashkind occluder system by coils. In three patients, the residual shunt resolved. In 12 patients (7.5%) echocardiography showed a residual shunt 2-1259 days after interventional approach. Occlusion rates of the different devices were 83% for the Rashkind occluder, 92% for detachable coils, and 100% for the Amplatzer duct occluder. Coil embolisation into the pulmonary artery occurred in two patients, interventional removal was successful in one of them. There were no further complications. According to our experience interventional occlusion of patent ductus arteriosus is highly effective and associated with a low complication rate. Transcatheter closure using the Amplatzer duct occluder seems to be safe and effective also in small children with a body weight of 8 kg and a large ductus diameter. Compared to the total group of patients, the occlusion rate of the Amplatzer duct occluder was significantly higher (p = 0.005), and of the Rashkind occluder system significantly lower (p = 0.026). Therefore, we recommend the use of detachable coils in patients with small ductus (diameter < or = 2 mm) and the Amplatzer duct occluder in those with a larger ductus. Transcatheter closure of the patent ductus arteriosus according to this regimen should achieve occlusion rates above 95%.     

Inadvertent stenting of patent ductus arteriosus with Amplatzer Vascular Plug.

We report a 12-month old patient who presented for murmur evaluation after percutaneous closure of type C patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) using a 10 mm Amplatzer Vascular Plug (AGA Medical Corporation, Golden Valley, MN) at an outside institution. Echocardiography revealed a large left-to-right shunt through the implanted device, inadvertently stenting the PDA instead of closing it. The patient underwent repeat catheterization with successful coil implantation within the Amplatzer Vascular Plug, completely eliminating the large residual ductal shunt. Although challenging, this case illustrates the technique of implanting coils within this occlusion device. This case also illustrates that occlusion of type C PDA utilizing the Amplatzer Vascular Plug may not only result in incomplete occlusion but also create a potentially worse clinical situation in which the PDA is stretched larger and stented open. Without consideration of simultaneous coil implantation within this device, use of the Amplatzer Vascular Plug might be contraindicated in type C PDA, because there may be no way to ensure successful closure by the Vascular Plug alone.     

Transcatheter closure of moderate to large patent ductus arteriosus with the Amplatzer duct occluder.

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the acute and follow-up results of transcatheter closure of moderate to large patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) with the Amplatzer duct occluder. METHODS: Between April 2000 and June 2005, 237 patients underwent attempted transcatheter closure of PDA, of whom Amplatzer duct occluder was used in 68 patients with moderate-to-large-sized PDA (45 females, with ages ranging from 56 days to 75 years, median 3.3 years). Moderate to large PDA is defined as ductus diameter > or =2.5 mm (> or =3 mm in early phase of this study) in infants and young children, or > or =4 mm in adolescents and adults. The size of device selected was generally at least 1-2 mm larger than ductus diameter. RESULTS: The ductus diameter ranged from 2.5 to 8.5 mm (4.1 +/- 1.3 mm). Amplatzer duct occluder was successfully deployed in 66 out of 68 patients. The size of device deployed ranged from 4 to 12 mm (6.3 +/- 1.6 mm). The causes of failure in the 2 patients included calcification of ductus resulting, in failure in advancing a sheath to descending aorta in 1 and kinking of a Cook sheath in the other. Distal embolization of the device occurred several hours later in one. After the device was retrieved percutaneously, the patient was sent to surgery. No other significant complications occurred. In the 3-month follow-up, complete occlusion was achieved in all patients. No patient had left pulmonary artery stenosis. CONCLUSIONS: Transcatheter closure of moderate-to-large-sized ductus with Amplatzer ductus occluder is effective and safe.     

Comparison and results of transcatheter closure of patent ductus arteriosus using the swivel-disk device versus plug occluder in children

The transcatheter closure of certain types of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) remains a challenge. The investigators report initial clinical experience with 25 patients who underwent PDA occlusion with the use of a swivel-disk device (SDD) or a plug occluder (PO). The patients were divided into 2 groups: in the SDD group, 12 patients aged 1 to 2 years with type A PDA underwent attempted closure using the SDD, a modified Amplatzer duct occluder with a very low profile retention disk that can adapt itself at different PDA insertion angles. The mean PDA diameter was 4.8 +/- 1.5 mm (range 3.8 to 8). In the PO group, 13 patients aged 0.5 to 3 years with type C, D, or E PDA underwent attempted occlusion with the PO, a tubular occluder made of Nitinol wire mesh. The mean PDA diameter was 4.2 +/- 3.5 mm (range 1.2 to 9). The 2 occluders are filled with Dacron patches. The mean device diameters were 6.5 +/- 1.2 and 6.8 +/- 2.2 mm (range 4 to 11) in the SDD and PO groups, respectively. Complete angiographic closure was seen in 24 of 25 patients. The deployment of 4 5-PDA5 coils abolished a residual shunt associated with hemolysis in a 5-month-old patient with a large type C PDA after the implantation of an 11-mm PO. No other complications were observed. In conclusion, the SDD and the PO are promising additions to the armamentarium for PDA closure.     

Transcatheter closure of patent ductus arteriosus with the Amplatzer duct occluder: short-term follow-up

BACKGROUND: Transcatheter closure of the patent ductus arteriosus is a well established procedure. The objective of this study was to assess the effectiveness and the safety of the Amplatzer duct occluder. METHODS AND RESULTS: Occlusion of the patent ductus arteriosus was attempted in 23 patients. The median weight was 11.7 Kg (range, 5 kg - 42.4 kg) with a mean ductus diameter of 3.7 mm (range, 1.6 - 7.2 mm). The immediate closure rate was 86% with a closure rate of 100% at 6 months, 1 year and 2 years following device placement. There was one device embolization that occurred immediately following device placement. No patient had aortic narrowing or pulmonary artery stenosis following the procedure. CONCLUSIONS: The Amplatzer duct occluder is safe and effective in the closure of a patent ductus arteriosus up to 7.2 mm in diameter. Selecting a device at least 12 mm larger than the minimal ductal diameter can minimize embolization.
