Use of a Stent Graft for Patent Ductus Arteriosus in an Octogenarian Eliminates Ductus Flow.
Annals of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery 2016 June 21
Closure of a patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in the elderly is a high-risk procedure because of tissue fragility and many possible complications. The patient in our case was an 81-year-old woman with a window-type PDA caused by cardiac failure. Based on the anatomy of the PDA and aorta and to minimize invasion, we used a stent graft to close the PDA. This approach was successful; hemodynamics improved and ductus flow was eliminated during the follow-up period without intervention from the pulmonary artery side.
