Cardiac Catheterization
Cardiac catheterization affords the opportunity to
evaluate the anatomy by angiography, measure
hemodynamics, and provide treatment during the
same intervention. It is important to obtain hemodynamics prior to angiography as contrast can
falsely increase the lling pressures. If PVR is
elevated, pulmonary vasodilation testing should
be performed with oxygen and nitric oxide to
assess reversibility and determine whether the
PDA can be closed [1, 9]. In patients with
Eisenmenger syndrome the systemic saturation
in the descending aorta will be lower than normal, thus the saturation must be obtained in the
b
ascending aorta, and should be equal to the left
atrial saturation.
Angiography is performed in the descending
aorta just above the ductal ampulla to evaluate
the ductal anatomy. A straight lateral projection
shows the PDA anatomy best, including the narrowest diameter, length, and size of the ampulla.
The anterior projection can be in straight AP or
RAO [10]. Morphologic classication was
established by Krichenko etal. based on the location of the narrowest diameter and the shape of
the PDA (Fig.4) (Table1).

Diagnosis andPre-procedural
Assessment
This patient had recently emigrated from Central
America. Neither he nor his parents had ever
been told he had a murmur before. Although he
denied physical activity intolerance, he preferred
more “quiet” activities and had voluntarily
avoided physical education at school for the last
15years because according to him, he “was not
as fast as the other students”. He denied
palpitations.
His physical examination showed a PMI displaced to the left. There was a thrill on palpation
over his chest. Auscultation revealed a grade III/
VI continuous “machinery type” murmur in the
left parasternal border. Pulses were 3+ in all
a
extremities with no radiofemoral delay. The saturation in the upper and lower extremities was
96%.
Based on this, a PDA was suspected. A TTE
was obtained demonstrating a moderate-size
PDA with left-to-right shunting with LA and LV
enlargement. Diastolic ow reversal in the
descending aorta was seen. Spectral Doppler
showed a peak velocity close to 4m/s (Fig.5).
The arch was left-sided and the branching pattern
was normal.
Since transthoracic echocardiography dened
the arch branching pattern and ruled out other
structural abnormalities no further imaging was
obtained, and he underwent catheterization for
hemodynamic assessment and possible device
closure (Table2).

enlargement. In patients with pulmonary hypertension without Eisenmenger physiology, PDA
closure may be considered depending on careful
hemodynamic evaluation. Table 3 summarizes
the guideline recommendations of the American
Heart Association/American College of
Cardiology (AHA/ACC) for PDA closure in
adults.
Heart Team Approach
andDiscussion
Although his mean pulmonary arterial pressures are
elevated, the calculated pulmonary vascular resistance was within normal limits and thus, no pulmonary vasodilation testing was needed. Leaving the
PDA open for a longer time would likely result in
pulmonary vascular disease and possibly
Eisenmenger. Therefore, closure was indicated.
Indications forPDA Closure
Closure of the PDA is indicated when there are
symptoms of congestive heart failure, and/or
signs of volume overload such as LA or LV
Heart Team Decision
Surgery
In contrast to the pediatric population, surgical
ligation of the ductus in the adult carries a signicant degree of morbidity. Calcication, ductal
aneurysm or coexisting coronary artery disease
require anterior sternotomy approach on cardiopulmonary bypass. Nowadays, surgery is
reserved only for cases where transcatheter
device closure is not possible or is contraindicated, as is the case in right aortic arch with aberrant left subclavian artery and left-sided PDA
with airway compression, very large PDAs, or
large ductal aneurysms [7, 11].

Percutaneous Closure ofPatent Ductus Arteriosus
https://t.me/med1917
351
Percutaneous Closure
Percutaneous closure is currently the method of
choice to address a PDA. The success rate is
close to 100% and the rate of complications is
minimal [1–3, 7, 9, 10, 12]. The largest reported
series in 141 adults showed a success rate of 99%
with no major complications [3]. The procedure
can be performed under local anesthesia, and for
most cases, it requires less than 24 h of
observation.
Once the anatomy is dened, the ductus can
be closed either by a prograde approach advancing a catheter from the venous side into the pulmonary artery and crossing the ductus to the
descending aorta; or for symmetric devices retrograde from the aortic side crossing to the pulmonary artery. Nowadays, coils are rarely used as
they have been replaced by newer occluding
devices (i.e.: Amplatzer Duct Occluder I) (Fig.6).
If crossing from the PA is not possible, as sometimes happens in adult patients, a wire can be
snared after the crossing from the aortic side to
form an arterio-venous rail, allowing closure
with an Amplatzer Duct Occluder I.
Intraprocedural Imaging Modalities
andMeasurements
Angiography was obtained in the descending
aorta just above the ductal ampulla in RAO/caudal and straight lateral projections showing a
moderate sized PDA. It is important to obtain
adequate measurements with especial attention to
the narrowest diameter. These will determine the
size and type of device. In contrast to the pediatric population, it is rare for the devices to result in
compression of the LPA or the descending aorta.
Once the device is placed, angiography should be
obtained in the aorta to evaluate for device position and residual shunting (Fig.7).

Post Procedural Assessment
Immediate postoperative evaluation should
include transthoracic echocardiogram and
CXR. Occasionally, left ventricular dysfunction
can be seen following PDA closure especially
when the PDA is large and pulmonary vascular
resistance is still low. This is secondary to a sudden increase in afterload when the PDA is closed.
In this case, transthoracic echocardiogram
performed after the procedure showed no residual ow through the ductus, no obstruction of the
LPA or descending aortic ow, and normal LV
function.
Follow Up
– First 24h: Transthoracic echocardiogram and
CXR to verify stable position of the device
and evaluate residual shunting.
– Six months: outpatient visit with echocardio-
gram. If no residual shunting, normal PA pres-
sures, and normal LV size and function,

Clinical Controversies andClinical
Pearls
• Bacterial endocarditis in small PDAs has been
reported in a few cases, and closing a small,
hemodynamically insignicant PDA for pre-
vention is a matter of controversy [12].
• The rate of signicant complications of trans-
catheter closure is quite low and thus, some
argue the lifetime risk of endarteritis is higher
than the procedural risks.
• PDA closure is indicated in patients with con-
gestive heart failure symptoms and/or with
evidence of LV volume overload and most
agree to the closure a small, hemodynami-
cally insignicant PDA as long as it is
audible.
• PDA diagnosis is established by transthoracic
echocardiogram in most cases, but 3D
imaging, or other cardiac imaging may be
necessary in adult patients.
Key Points
– A patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is a
vascular connection between the LPA
and the aorta, and it comprises 10% of
congenital heart disease cases.
– Moderate and large PDAs result in vol-
ume overload and eventually pulmonary
arterial hypertension with vascular
353
changes, and if uncorrected can result in
Eisenmenger physiology.
– Transthoracic echocardiogram is the
imaging modality of choice for diagnosis and evaluation of the anatomy, ow
directionality and pressure restriction
across the PDA.
– CT or MRI should be obtained when
echocardiographic windows are not
adequate and further anatomical detail
is necessary, and/or if a ductal aneurysm
is suspected by echocardiography.
– When indicated, transcatheter PDA
device closure is the method of choice
with high success rates and minimal
complications.
Chapter Review Questions
1. What is the main determinant of the shunt
direction in a PDA?
A. Length and diameter of the PDA
B. Difference between SVR and PVR
C. Left ventricular end diastolic pressure
D. A and C
Answer: B
Explanation: Although the restriction of
the ow is mostly determined by the narrowest segment of the PDA, the direction of the
shunt (right to left or left to right) is determined by the difference between the SVR and
PVR. Normally the SVR is higher than the
PVR, and thus the shunt is left to right.
However, for untreated large, unrestrictive
PDAs, once the PVR is greater than the SVR
the shunt ow reverses, and patients develop
Eisenmenger physiology.
2. Which of the following is NOT an indication
for PDA closure?
A. Signs of volume overload by
echocardiography.
B. Signs and symptoms of heart failure.
C. Small non-audible “silent” PDA.
D. Moderate PDA with mildly elevated PA
pressures.

354
https://t.me/med1917
L. Prieto and D. Duar te
Answer: C
Explanation: Small non-audible PDA is
frequently an incidental nding. They are
hemodynamically insignicant and the risk of
endocarditis is felt to be negligible to nonexistent. Therefore, closure is not indicated.
3. A 20-year-old male patient presents for evaluation of a murmur. The echocardiogram
showed moderate sized PDA with left to right
shunt. The spectral Doppler showed restrictive PDA with peak gradient of 3.8m/s and a
simultaneous blood pressure of 100/70. The
LV and LA are dilated. The arch is left-sided,
and the branching pattern is normal. What is
the best next step?
A. Start diuretics and re-evaluate in 3months.
B. Computed tomography of the chest with
contrast.
C. Cardiac magnetic resonance.
D. Transcatheter closure.
Answer: D
Explanation: The echocardiogram pro-
vided all the necessary information, and transcatheter closure is indicated. There is no need
for further imaging.
4. (Questions 4 and 5) A 55-year-old female
presents with lower extremity clubbing.
Echocardiographic windows are very limited
but shows a large PDA with possible bidirectional shunting. Spectral Doppler showed no
signicant restriction. What is the next step in
evaluation of this patient?
A. Cardiac catheterization.
B. Cardiac MRI.
C. Transesophageal echocardiogram.
D. Surgical closure.
5. After evaluation, the patient undergoes car-
diac catheterization for hemodynamic evalua-
tion. Hemodynamics showed severe
pulmonary hypertension with calculated PVR
of 15 WU and Qp:Qs of 0.7. Pulmonary vaso-
dilatory testing shows partial response to oxy-
gen and nitric oxide with improvement of the
PVR to 12. Angiography shows a large PDA
with signicant calcication. Based on the
above:
A. PDA should be closed in the catheteriza-
tion laboratory.
B. Surgical closure is indicated.
C. Closure is contraindicated.
D. None of the above
Answer to Question 4: A
Answer to Question 5: C
Explanation: The patient has clubbing of
the lower extremities, and this is caused by
chronic lower oxygen saturation in the
descending aorta due to right to left shunting
at the ductal level. It is necessary to obtain
hemodynamics in the catheterization laboratory and test for reversibility. In this case
hemodynamics showed the PVR is greater
than the SVR and the Qp:Qs is lower than 1,
indicating she has Eisenmenger physiology.
Therefore, closure is contraindicated. Surgery
is reserved for cases where device closure is
contraindicated by the anatomy such as vascular rings with compression of the airway, or
large ductal aneurysms.
