Event Description

It was reported that on (b)(6) 2021, a 4/2 amplatzer piccolo occluder was selected for implant in a (b)(6) day old (b)(6) kg patient that was critically ill with respiratory failure and renal insufficiency.The patient had the following patent ductus arteriosus (pda) dimensions: pda minimal diameter of 2.4mm, pda length of 8.2mm and diameter at aortic ampulla of 3.3mm.During the procedure the device was successfully placed intraductally near the aortic end of the pda without impingement on the pulmonary artery (pa) or aorta.5 days post implant, the patient presented with symptomatic aortic obstruction, left ventricle (lv) dysfunction, and renal failure.The patient was taken back to the cath lab and it was found that the device had migrated such that the aortic disc and part of central disc were pushing into aorta, not allowing for the use of a stent.The device couldn't be removed or coarctation stented by transcatheter approach, so device was removed surgically.The pda was ligated and the aorta repaired.No residual pda or coarctation was noted by echo post pda device removal.The patient is recovering but is critically ill, as they were prior to the procedure.No additional information was provided.
