Abstract

Patent ductus arteriosus accounts for 5 – 10% of all congenital heart disease in children.  Currently, transcatheter closure is standard of care. Device closure in PDA is usually done by an antegrade technique where PDA is crossed from the PA side. In some patients, this universal procedure may not be successful due to anatomical differences. In such patients, the retrograde technique with retrograde wiring and antegrade snaring approach followed by PDA device closure may be used successfully to close PDA. We report such a case of difficult PDA device closure where the antegrade technique was not successful and PDA device closure was completed by retrograde approach.
