The article, "single-center experience of 100 consecutive percutaneous patent ductus arteriosus closures in infants = 1000 grams", was reviewed.This research article is a single center experience to describe the lessons learned from percutaneous patent ductus arteriosus(pda) closures in patients weighing less than or equal to 1000 grams.100 consecutive infants weighing less then 1000 grams underwent transcatheter patent ductus arteriosus(pda) closure between june 2015 to march 2020.The average age was 24.3 days old and the average weight was 821.4 grams.Patient history included: pulmonary hypertension, necrotizing enterocolitis, intraventricular hemorrhage, sepsis and renal impairment.An aortic arch obstructions with the amplatzer piccolo occluder was reported.A (b)(6), 560 g infant had an amplatzer piccolo occluder successfully implanted completely within the pda (intraductal).However, a week later, with signs of necrotizing enterocolitis (nec) and renal failure, respectively, aortic arch stenosis secondary to protrusion of the device was diagnosed.The patient required stenting of the aorta from a carotid approach.9 months post-procedure the patient has not required additional interventions.The article concluded that transcatheter pda closure is feasible in infants = 1000 g.However, it will find its way into the algorithm for pda management in premature infants only if the procedure is safe.A regimented approach is necessary for success.The primary and correspondence author of the article is ranjit philip, md, 848 adams avenue, memphis, tn 38103 with the corresponding email: rphilip@uthsc.Edu.

Corrected information for: h6 the previously reported medical device problem code no longer applies: 1583 - inadequacy of device shape and/or size additional information for: g3, g6, h2, h6, and h10.In an research article, aortic arch obstructions with the amplatzer piccolo occluder was reported.A more comprehensive assessment could not be performed as the event was non-contemporaneously reported through a literature review and no device was received for analysis.Based on the information received, the cause of the reported incident could not be conclusively determined.
