Acta Cardiol Sin. 2016 Sep;32(5):619-622. doi: 10.6515/acs20151117a.

Abstract

Endovascular stent-grafting is an alternative treatment for adult patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), especially in elderly patients. Regarding young adults, endovascular therapy is a reasonable choice if the landing zone is sufficient. In this study, we report on a young adult with PDA successfully treated with endovascular stent-grafting.
