HEART DEFECTS
SWITCH TO THE interventional VIEW For more information specific to interventional cardiology regarding PDA closure
Echocardiography and/or angiography can differentiate between patent ductus arteriosus and coronary arteriovenous fistulas, which can have a similar presentation.
The Krichenko classification of patent ductus arteriosus, based on angiography, includes 6 types:
PATENT DUCTUS ARTERIOSUS
TYPE A: CONICAL
TYPE D: COMPLEX
TYPE B: WINDOW
TYPE E: ELONGATED
TYPE C: TUBULAR
TYPE F: FETAL
The patent ductus arteriosus can range from a small hemodynamically insignificant lesion that is not heard on auscultation to one that without intervention is large enough to cause congestive heart failure and pulmonary hypertension.4,8
PATENT DUCTUS ARTERIOSUS TREATMENT OPTIONS8–12
OBSERVATION
Doctor monitors the baby's heart
to evaluate whether the open blood vessel
is closing properly.
MEDICATION THERAPY
Premature infants can take an intravenous
medication (Indomethacin, Acetaminophen, or Ibuprofen)
that may help close PDA.
TRANSCATHETER CLOSURE
The Amplatzer Piccolo™ Occluder is precisely placed
in the duct to ensure effective closure.
SURGICAL LIGATION
Surgeon binds the ductus with a simple ligature
during open heart surgery.
