RESUMO
Patent ductus arteriosus is the most common cardiac anomaly in our country. In the last few decades, there has been a lot of interest in developing less invasive techniques like video-assisted thoracoscopic clipping; nevertheless, this also has some complications. We present an 8-year-old female, which had been treated with video-assisted thoracoscopic clipping of patent ductus arteriosus. Five years later, she presented with a large aneurysm of the ductus arteriosus extending to the pulmonary trunk and a residual patent ductus arteriosus. A Cardia ASD occluder of 24 mm was placed in the aneurysm, and the residual ductus arteriosus was then closed with an Amplatzer Plug vascular II device of 10 mm, with a good outcome. The development of an aneurysm after video-assisted patent ductus arteriosus closure is apparently a non-reported complication; therefore, there are also no reports for its treatment. That is why we present this case as an option for its resolution.

INTRODUCTION: The anatomic changes of the patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in adult patients, such as aortic aneurysm, calcification, or being short and sometimes friable, could complicate the surgical treatment. The transcatheter occlusion of PDA with different devices is currently accepted as safe and effective. We presented our experience with percutaneous occlusion of PDA in adult patients by means of three different devices. METHODS AND RESULTS: Between January 2000 and March 2005, 53 adult patients (47 women and 6 men) with PDA were treated for occlusion by means of percutaneous procedures. Average age was 25.3 years (Range, 16 to 54.7 years). Three different devices were used, 39 patients with Amplatzer for ductus arteriosus, 1 patient with Amplatzer for muscular interventricular communication, 11 with Gianturco coils, and 1 patient with Nit-Occlud. All devices were implanted successfully. Immediate complete closure was achieved in 31 patients (58.4%), in 20 patients (37.7%) with minimal leakage, and in 2 patients (3.89%) with moderate leak. Previous systolic pulmonary pressure had an average of 37.08 +/- 22.8. mm Hg (Range: 12-138 mm Hg) and went down to 28.75 +/- 10.25 mm Hg (Range: 16-57 mm Hg) with p d x 0.001. The average time follow-up was of 16.8 months (Range: 0.9 to 51.8 months) the occlusion was completed in 100%, in neither patients were observed complications related to implant of the devices. CONCLUSION: Transcatheter closure at PDA in adult patients with different devices is safe and feasible.
