Forty-five (23%) children and 19 (18%) dogs had congestive heart failure prior to catheterization. Transvenous and transarterial approaches for deployment were most used in children and dogs, respectively. All children had percutaneous vascular access compared to 17 (16%) dogs. Intraprocedural anticoagulation was standard for children (100% of 165 reported), but not for dogs (2/103). The median (interquartile range) pulmonary ostium diameter in children was 2.2 mm (1.5–3.0 mm) and 3.0 mm (2.0–4.2 mm) in dogs when all body sizes were considered (P&lt;0.001). Amplatzer™ Duct Occluder was most commonly used in children (64/202, 32%); the Amplatz® Canine Duct Occluder was used in dogs (96/100, 96%).

Successful device deployment was achieved in 197 (98%) children and 98 (93%) dogs (P=0.03).
