Abstract:
Percutaneous ductal device closure in neonates is gaining popularity. Cardiac perforation is a rare but catastrophic complication that can occur during this procedure. Surgical options to salvage this situation are limited in extremely low-weight babies. In this report, we describe one such case managed successfully and offer some suggestions to achieve a successful outcome.
