Abstract

Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is a congenital heart defect in which the ductus arteriosus, a vascular structure between the pulmonary artery and the aorta that normally closes shortly after birth, remains open. We present two cases of adults with PDA. A 28-year-old lady had a small PDA without any symptoms or left heart overload. The PDA was closed for endocarditis prevention using a coil. In a 37-year-old lady with palpitations, collapse, dyspnoea and left heart overload caused by a large PDA, percutaneous closure of the PDA was performed with an Amplatzer device. Transcatheter closure has been established to be the method of choice for treating a PDA in adults. (Neth Heart J 2008;16:255-9.)
