Abstract

We describe the case of a 32-year-old man with history of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) closed with an Amplatzer device 12 years earlier. Imaging investigations revealed a persistent large PDA and the device migrated in the right pulmonary artery. A new transcatheter PDA occlusion was attempted with optimal post-procedural results. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).

Keywords: PDA, patent ductus arteriosus; device embolization; patent ductus arteriosus.
