Abstract
Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is a congenital heart disorder in which a vascular structure between the pulmonary artery and the aorta remains open. PDA normally closes shortly after birth. The treatment in adults is surgical or transcatheter closure. A 47-year-old woman presented to our hospital with a diagnosis of PDA and was treated with transcatheter closure. Although the recovery period of adult patients is long, this patient recovered completely after one day.
