Insights

Device embolization during patent ductus arteriosus closure is a serious complication. This case highlights successful surgical management of a child with a deeply embolized duct occluder in the pulmonary artery.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Pediatric Cardiology
  • Interventional Cardiology

Background:

  • Percutaneous closure of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) using duct occluders is standard for children over 6 months and 6 kg.
  • Device embolization is a rare but life-threatening complication of PDA closure.
  • Embolization can necessitate urgent open-heart surgery.

Cardiac Catheterization II: Right Heart Catheterization

Right Heart Catheterization: An OverviewRight heart catheterization is an invasive diagnostic procedure that measures right-sided cardiac and pulmonary artery pressures, calculates cardiac output, and identifies intracardiac shunts. It provides detailed hemodynamic data essential for diagnosing and managing various cardiovascular conditions, such as pulmonary hypertension.Access SitesCommon access sites for right heart catheterization include the internal jugular vein in the neck region, the...

Pulmonary Embolism II: Diagnostic Studies and Interprofessional Care

Diagnosing Pulmonary EmbolismDiagnosing pulmonary embolism (PE) involves clinical assessment and advanced imaging tests. The preferred diagnostic tool is the spiral (helical) CT scan or CT angiography (CTA), which uses intravenous contrast media to visualize the pulmonary vasculature and identify emboli.A ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) scan is an alternative for patients unable to receive contrast media. This scan includes both perfusion and ventilation scanning. Perfusion scanning involves...
