[Morphological changes in patent ductus arteriosus after endovascular occlusion (clinico-experimental study)]

The work is based on a comparison of data gained in experiments with the results of clinical examination of a large group of patients in the late-term period after endovascular occlusion of a patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). The regular features of the course of the morphological process in the zone of the PDA after implantation of a botallo-occluder into it were studied. Clinico-morphological parallels were made. The high efficacy and reliability of the new method of endovascular treatment of PDA, developed at the Moscow Second Medical institute, was substantiated morphologically and confirmed clinically.
