Congenital diaphragmatic hernias (CDH) can induce life-threatening pulmonary hypertension and right heart failure. The patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is often maintained in CDH to allow for decompression into the systemic circulation. However, if the PDA becomes hemodynamically significant, PDA closure may be indicated. Traditional methods rely on pharmacological closure. In this report, we document a rare transcatheter closure of a hemodynamically significant PDA.
先天性膈疝(CDH)可引发危及生命的肺动脉高压和右心衰竭。动脉导管未闭(PDA)在CDH中常持续存在,以允许血液减压进入体循环。然而,如果PDA在血流动力学上变得显著,可能需要关闭PDA。传统方法依赖药物封堵。在本报告中,我们记录了一例罕见的经导管封堵具有血流动力学意义的PDA的病例。
