Echocardiographic and Radionuclide Pulmonary Blood Flow Patterns After Transcatheter Closure of Patent Ductus Arteriosus

Abstract: Our results demonstrate that protrusion of the device in the LPA is an infrequent finding. If present, it is associated with increased maximal flow velocity in the LPA and diminished left lung perfusion. However, echocardiography and lung scintigraphy are weakly correlated: Increased maximal blood flow velocities in the proximal LPA proved to be a poor indicator or impaired left lung perfusion. Also, decreased perfusion occurs in the absence of echocardiographic evidence of device protrusion.

“…Concern has been expressed regarding possible encroachment of the occluder into the left pulmonary artery leading to stenosis and subsequent reduction in left pulmonary perfusion. 4,5,8) Recently we 9) and others 4) have demonstrated there was radionuclide evidence of left pulmonary blood flow reduction in around 14 to 19% of the patients who received a Rashkind prosthesis. All were asymptomatic at follow up and there seems to be no immediate clinical significance.…”

“…1,2 Pulmonary perfusion abnormalities in patients with a Fontanlike circulation are clinically of particular interest and may have substantial consequences. Patients with atriopulmonary anastomosis (APA), 3 total cavopulmonary connection (TCPC), 4 or partial cavopulmonary connection (PCPC) have been studied using lung perfusion scintigraphy.…”

“…Belirtilen komplikasyonlardan PDA kapatılma işlemi sonrası sol akciğer perfüzyonunda azalma tüm cihaz tiplerinde bildirilmiştir (4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9). Buna karşılık transkateter yöntemle PDA kapatılmasında koil kullanımı oldukça sık olmasına rağmen, sol akciğer perfüzyonunu değerlendiren çalışma sayısı oldukça azdır ve sonuçlar çelişkilidir.…”
