Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and the effectiveness of the device "Nit-Occlud® PDA-R" in the percutaneous closure of patent ductus.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

During the years 2003 to 2008, the Cardiological Medical Center "Kardiozentrum" evaluated 1136 patients with echocardiographic studies, 14.7% of the patients were diagnosed with patent arterial duct. The PDA is an abnormal communication between the aorta and pulmonary artery. Untreated it can rise the intrapulmonary pressure and lead to serious complications like cardiac insufficiency.

The incidence of ducts as an isolated heart disease is between 3.6 and 7% of all congenital heart diseases at sea level, and 10 - 14% at high altitude; rising up to 20% in cities at more than 2.500 m about sea level. The ducts at high altitude are generally wider and larger than at sea level.

One treatment alternative is a percutaneous transluminal implantation of a permanent implant which closes the defect. The device under investigation "Nit-Occlud® PDA-R" is developed for closure of the PDA with a minimal diameter of 2-8 mm.

The device performs the function of generating the defect occlusion by the body itself. The implant stimulates the body to generate an epithelium over the implant so that the PDA closes.

Intervention Type DEVICE

Transcatheter implantation of a PDA Device (Nitinol) The catheterism was done under sedation, using a protocol established by inserting a catheter through a femoral artery and/or vein directed to the heart and great vessels. Invasive measurements are obtained in the descending aorta and pulmonary artery. Once in ductal position, we inject iodinated contrast medium that allows us to observe via X-ray the ductal morphology; obtaining accurate measurements to choose the appropriate device. The device is then inserted via the catheter, closing the ductus.

The catheterism provides measures of aortic and pulmonary pressure, before, during and after the closure.
