Closure of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in the elderly is a high-risk procedure due to the fragility of the aorta and aneurysmal changes in the ductus. Stent grafting has emerged as a method for treating aortic disease. We describe a case in which this endovascular technique was successfully performed for closure of a PDA with aneurismal change in a high-risk patient. This approach may comprise the armamentarium for treating 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(PDA)的闭合是一项高风险手术。支架植入术已成为治疗主动脉疾病的一种方法。我们描述了一例在高危患者中成功运用这种血管内技术闭合伴有动脉瘤样改变的PDA的病例。这种方法可能成为治疗成人此类病变的手段。
