| Abstract: | Nonsurgical closure of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) using a duct occluder placed percutaneously is currently the first line of therapy and the success rate is quite high. Several devices are currently available. An eight year child underwent device closure of the ductus. However after deployment of the device it, became dislodged into the left pulmonary artery. Several attempts at catheter retrieval failed. The child underwent successful surgical removal of the device without cardiopulmonary bypass. |
