ABSTRACT

Transcatheter closure has become a common treatment method for patent ductus arteriosus in premature infants at many centres; however, many remain uncertain about the ability to perform the procedure in the catheterisation laboratory for infants requiring high-frequency ventilation. This study presents our centre’s experience following the implementation of neonatal ventilatory guidelines, which resulted in 100% procedural success without any procedural or respiratory adverse events.
