Abstract
A 3-year-old girl with a large ductus arteriosus had increased pulmonary vascular resistance at cardiac catheterisation. Test occlusion of the ductus arteriosus with a Nit-Occlud PDA-R device and hyperoxia decreased the pulmonary arterial pressure to < 50% of systemic level. The ductus was closed with the same device. Two years later, an echocardiogram showed normal pulmonary arterial pressure.
期刊介绍:
Cardiology in the Young is devoted to cardiovascular issues affecting the young, and the older patient suffering the sequels of congenital heart disease, or other cardiac diseases acquired in childhood. The journal serves the interests of all professionals concerned with these topics. By design, the journal is international and multidisciplinary in its approach, and members of the editorial board take an active role in the its mission, helping to make it the essential journal in paediatric cardiology. All aspects of paediatric cardiology are covered within the journal. The content includes original articles, brief reports, editorials, reviews, and papers devoted to continuing professional development.
