Abstract

We describe the transcatheter closure of a patent ductus venosus in twin brothers with an ill-defined systemic illness and respiratory failure using the Amplatzer vascular plug. To our knowledge, this is the first description of the use of the Amplatzer vascular plug for ductus venosus closure.
