  Objective: To compare clinical and echocardiographic data before and after transcatheter closure of patent ductusarteriosus (PDA) with occluder device. Methods: The study population consisted of 30 children with PDA who were subjected to history taking and clinical examination to detect symptoms and signs suggestive of significant shunting. Doppler, two-dimensional echocardiography studies with measurement of mitral inflow velocities in early and late diastole (E and A wave), early and late diastolic mitral annular velocity (É and Á) by DTI, Tei index, and standard chamber dimensions. All children were studied before and 3 months after percutaneous closure of PDA that done using the Amplatzer device. Results: Transcatheter closure of PDA produced marked improvement of patients’ symptoms and sign.. Read More»
