Abstract:
This retrospective cohort study evaluated the clinical outcome and cost-effectiveness of 2 treatment strategies for children with an isolated restrictive patent ductus arteriosus. Results indicate a superior cost-effectiveness of transcatheter coil occlusion compared with conventional surgery for these patients.
