Abstract

Feasibility and outcomes of Trans catheter

Savita Krishnamurthy

The study aims to assess feasibility of transcatheter device closure of patent ductus arteriosus in infants weighing less than 5 kg and retrospectively compares the result with the age and weight matched surgical duct ligation group. Twenty infants weighing less than 5 kg underwent device closure of patent ductus arteriosus between January 2017 to May 2019. The result was compared with retrospective data from twenty other infants who underwent surgical duct ligation.
