- Abstract
Residual patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) after surgical ligation is not common, but the anatomy of the residual duct may be distorted by the surgical ligation resulting in a difficult transcatheter closure. Such distorted anatomy of the duct may not be demonstrated by the two-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (2D TEE). Fortunately, live 3D TEE provided the precise anatomy of the elongated distorted residual duct, and as in the case presented herein, guided the Amplatzer ductal occluder (ADO). We concluded that live 3D TEE provided novel images of complex residual ducts and successful guidance of a ductal occluder. (Echocardiography 2011;28:E101-E103) Residual patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) after surgical ligation is not common and it may be distorted by the surgery resulting in a difficult transcatheter closure. Such distorted anatomy of the duct may not be demonstrated by the two-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (2D TEE), but live 3D TEE provided the precise anatomy of the elongated distorted residual duct. In the case presented herein, live 3D TEE provided novel images of complex residual duct and successful guidance of the Amplatzer ductal occluder (ADO) deployment.
