Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Percutaneous transcatheter closure of the patent ductus arteriosus has become a clinically viable procedure in childhood due to the pioneering work of Rashkind and Mullins. Presented is a modification of the technique to accomplish catheter closure in the small ductus arteriosus.

D004374 Ductus Arteriosus, Patent A congenital heart defect characterized by the persistent opening of fetal DUCTUS ARTERIOSUS that connects the PULMONARY ARTERY to the descending aorta (AORTA, DESCENDING) allowing unoxygenated blood to bypass the lung and flow to the PLACENTA. Normally, the ductus is closed shortly after birth. Patent Ductus Arteriosus Familial,Patency of the Ductus Arteriosus,Patent Ductus Arteriosus
