Article Synopsis
- The study examines the treatment of residual patent ductus arteriosus (rPDAs) at two Egyptian hospitals, highlighting the need for closure due to infection risks and hemodynamic issues.
- It covers 20 cases from January 2009 to October 2017, primarily involving patients who had previous surgical or transcatheter treatments.
- The results show successful closure in 19 out of 20 cases using coils or devices, indicating that while transcatheter closure is generally effective, some cases can be complex to manage.
