Abstract Objective: Advancements in transcatheter technology have now made it possible to
safely close patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in extremely low birth weight (ELBW)
infants. The objective of this article is to describe our technique for transcatheter
PDA closure (TCPC) in ELBW infants.
Design: The techniques employed are very specific to this population and are drasti‐
cally different when compared to the procedure performed in patients weighing >5 kg.
Setting: A multidisciplinary team approach should be taken to evaluate and manage
ELBW infants in order to achieve success. It is important that specific techniques
with venous‐only approach outlined in this article… More >
