Long Term Results of 450 Percutaneous Closures of PDA in a Single Center

August 21, 2013 updated by: Rambam Health Care Campus

Percutaneous closure is one of the methods used to treat, among other congenital heart disorder, Persistent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) in children and adults. During the years 1998-2013 four hundred and fifty patients were catheterized in the department of pediatric cardiology and congenital heart diseases in Rambam health care campus, using various devices.

In this retrospective research, the investigators analyze data from patients' medical files, to estimate and define the correlation between the patients' demographic and morphologic data to the type and size of chosen closure device.

Aim of study:

To create an algorithm that can be used to choose the proper device for percutaneous closure of the PDA, based on the characteristics of the patient and the PDA type.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Success of implantation
Time Frame: one day, 10 days and a year after PDA closure and then last check-up exam
due to the fact that the research is retrospective and refers to a period of 15 years (1998-2013)and the fact that some patients had a check-up exam from time to time - the investigators have decided to include in this research the last check-up exam as well.
one day, 10 days and a year after PDA closure and then last check-up exam

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
residual shunt
Time Frame: one day, 10 days and a year after PDA closure and then last check-up exam
due to the fact that the research is retrospective and refers to a period of 15 years (1998-2013) and the fact that some patients had a check-up exam from time to time - the investigators have decided to include in this research the last check-up exam as well.
one day, 10 days and a year after PDA closure and then last check-up exam

Other Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Early and late Adverse effects
Time Frame: one day, 10 days and a year after PDA closure and then last check-up exam
hemolysis, bleeding, infections ect. due to the fact that the research is retrospective and refers to a period of 15 years (1998-2013)and the fact that some patients had a check-up exam from time to time - the investigators have decided to include in this research the last check-up exam as well.
