The diagnosis of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) usually requires catheterization, as does percutaneous treatment of the disorder. To obtain pressure gradients, a catheter can be passed in either direction through the PDA, from the pulmonary artery to the aorta or via the more common route of aorta to pulmonary artery. Several types of catheters have been used, but to date there have been no reports showing the use of a left internal mammary artery (LIMA) angiographic catheter for this purpose. We report successful passage of this catheter from the aorta across a PDA to the pulmonary artery in 15 adult patients who were observed to have no complications.
动脉导管未闭（PDA）的诊断通常需要进行心导管检查，该疾病的经皮治疗也是如此。为了获得压力梯度，可以将导管从肺动脉经动脉导管未闭处向主动脉方向推送，或者通过更常见的从主动脉到肺动脉的途径推送。已经使用了几种类型的导管，但迄今为止，尚无报告显示使用左乳内动脉（LIMA）血管造影导管用于此目的。我们报告了在15例成年患者中成功将该导管从主动脉经动脉导管未闭处推送至肺动脉，且观察到无并发症发生。
