Ductal arterial spasm: a nightmare
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 January 2020
Abstract
Ductal arterial spasm is a very potentially dangerous incidence during percutaneous device closure of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), which, otherwise, is a very safe catheter intervention. It is essential to notice its occurrence before device sizing and deploying. Without awareness, it can mislead device selection and can result in serious complication. In this report, we shared our nightmare of ductal spasm during transcatheter closure of PDA in two children which had led to death in one patient.
