Use of the Amplatzer Vascular Plug II Device to Occlude Different Types of Patent Ductus Arteriosus in Pediatric Patients

Abstract

The AVP II is an effective and safe device for PDA closure. It is particularly useful when dealing with nontypical PDA shapes and in small infants where it eliminated the risk of device-related aortic obstruction. The AVPII is an addition to the PDA device closure armamentarium in pediatric patients.
