The risk of closure of a patent ductus arteriosus in the elderly is high because of the fragility of the aorta and aneurysmal change in the ductus. Stent-grafting has emerged as a method of treatment of pathology of the aorta. We describe a case where this new endovascular technique has been successfully applied for closure of a patent ductus arteriosus in a high-risk patient. It may become part of the armamentarium for this pathology in adults.
由于主动脉脆弱以及动脉导管存在动脉瘤样改变,老年患者动脉导管未闭的闭合风险很高。支架植入术已成为治疗主动脉病变的一种方法。我们描述了一个病例,这种新的血管内技术已成功应用于一名高危患者的动脉导管未闭闭合术。它可能会成为成人这种病变治疗手段的一部分。
