Event Description

It was reported that on (b)(6) 2023, a 5-4mm amplatzer duct occluder was chosen for implant for a 10 week old, 2 kg patient with the following patent ductal arteriosus (pda) measurements: pulmonary artery diameter of 3.8mm, aortic diameter of 4.4mm, and pda length of 7.9mm.The amplatzer duct occluder was chosen due to the minimum ductual diameter.An unknown abbott delivery system was utilized.Fluoroscopy and transesophageal echocardiogram (tee) were used during procedure for imaging.The patient was in sinus rhythm during procedure.The device was deployed, and it initially pulled through the duct into the pulmonary artery.The device was recaptured and repositioned.The device was evaluated closely prior to release, and it was positioned at the pulmonary artery end of the duct with mild left pulmonary artery obstruction and no aortic involvement.A stability check was performed prior to release.Upon release, the device moved forward in the duct towards the aorta.Post implant revealed an aortic obstruction with a peak gradient of 9mmhg.The patient was transferred to another hospital for evaluation.On (b)(6) 2023, the patient had open heart surgery to explant the device.A surgical ligation was performed to close the pda defect.The patient status was reported as stable.
