Abstract Background Interventional closure of patent arterial duct has become an accepted alternative to surgical closure. Clinical trial with “Nit-Occlud® PDA-R”. Methods and results To assess the safety and efficacy of the device, we performed a prospective clinical study between June, 2009 and December, 2010 in La Paz, Bolivia. In all, 29 – 22 female patients and 7 male patients – out of 59 patients were selected on the basis of inclusion criteria. The procedures were performed under…

TLDR
The Nit‐Occlud® PDA‐R trial can close a PDA up to 8 mm in diameter and procedural and six‐month efficacy and safety results are reported.
Implantation of the new Nit‐Occlud PDA‐R device in children below 10 kilogram
TLDR
The Nit‐Occlud PDA‐R® device was developed and especially designed for large PDAs and its most recent experience in children with a body weight lower than 10 kg is reported.
Weaving Indigenous Textile Art Into Cardiac Devices.
TLDR
A multidisciplinary team of weaver artisans, biomedical engineers, and physicians formed to develop a biocompatible occlusive device that would be durable across a lifetime of cardiac cycles, and early experience with the devices suggest excellent clinical outcomes with few or no complications.

Transcatheter Closure of Patent Ductus Arteriosus Among Native High-Altitude Habitants
TLDR
ADO appears to be a suitable device for transcatheter occlusion for most such patients, and failed in one child with pulmonary hypertension because the device could not be properly secured in position in a 6-mm PDA.
Transcatheter Closure of Large Patent Ductus Arteriosus Using the Amplatzer Ductal Occluder
TLDR
From limited experience, ADO is safe and effective for the closure of a large PDA and achieved complete closure at 3 months of follow-up.
Transcatheter closure of large patent ductus arteriosus at high altitude with a novel nitinol device
TLDR
The Nitocclud PDA‐R device is safe and effective and can easily close very large PDAs and has a high rate of complete occlusion within 1 year and is easily retrieved if embolized.
[Percutaneous closure of a large ductus arteriosus with the Amplatzer device].
TLDR
It is described here the first Lebanese experience of percutaneous closure of a large patent ductus arteriosus in a 15-year-old female using the new Amplatzer Duct Occluder system.
SURGICAL LIGATION OF A PATENT DUCTUS ARTERIOSUS: REPORT OF FIRST SUCCESSFUL CASE
TLDR
A series of ninety-two cases which came to autopsy in which it was shown that the patient had had a patent ductus arteriosus without any other congenital abnormality were presented.
THE HEART AND PULMONARY CIRCULATION IN CHILDREN AT HIGH ALTITUDES: PHYSIOLOGICAL, ANATOMICAL, AND CLINICAL OBSERVATIONS.
TLDR
Physiologic and anatomic changes have been demonstrated in healthy children born and living at high altitudes and it is probable that at high altitude hypoxia and pulmonary hypertension, which remain as chronic conditions after birth, are factors related to the patency of ductus arteriosus.
Prevalence of congenital cardiac anomalies at high altitude.
The incidence of congenital heart disease.
The Heart and Pulmonary Circulation at High Altitudes: Healthy Highlanders and Chronic Mountain Sickness
TLDR
The clinical picture of chronic mountain sickness differs from subacute mountain sickness and resembles other chronic altitude diseases described in China and Kyrgyzstan and the heart and pulmonary circulation in healthy highlanders have distinct features in comparison with residents at sea level.
