Abstract
- Patent ductus arteriosus(PDA) is a common congenital heart disease encountered in premature neonates infants and children. Patent ductus arteriosus was the first surgically managed congenital heart disease,. Classic surgical interruption of patent ducturs arteriosus was partially replaced by a transcatheter endovascular closure, After a 5-7 mm video-assisted thoracoscopic interruption of the patent ductus arteriosus first applied in 1991, this minimally invasive technique came to be used in many centers, Video-assisted thoracoscopic interruption of the patent ductus arteriosus is feasible in low-weight infants whereas transcatheter endovascular closure of the ductus is usually not possible. We experienced successful outcome for the treatment of patent ductus arteriosus with 2 mm video-assisted thoracoscopic titanium clipping, We believed that this technique is a simple safe and rapid method for closure of the patent arteriosus.
