Tratamento endovascular da persistência do canal arterial em adulto

Abstract: The patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is a common type of congenital heart defect and its correction is simple when performed early in life. Surgery is performed using stitches or clips. In adults, the anomaly can lead to pulmonary hypertension and ventricular dysfunction. Surgery in adults is controversial and high-risk. This report describes an alternative endovascular approach in an adult patient.

“…Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), a persistent left to right shunt at great arterial level, accounts up to 10% of all congenital heart disease [1]. It may remain asymptomatic or may complicate into pulmonary vascular disease, atrial fibrillation, dissection of the pulmonary artery, endocarditis, Eisenmenger's syndrome, congestive heart failure, and rarely sudden death [2,3]. Therefore, all PDA with left atrial and/or left ventricular enlargement, pulmonary arterial hypertension, or symptoms should undergo either percutaneous or surgical intervention as mortality rates may reach to 20% at third decade.…”
