Abstract

We describe here the first Lebanese experience of percutaneous closure of a large patent ductus arteriosus in a 15-year-old female. The ductus arteriosus was successfully occluded using the new Amplatzer Duct Occluder system. The procedure time was 40 minutes and the young patient was discharged home the next day. This new device, conceived since 1997, gives very encouraging results according to the recent medical literature.
