Improvement of pulmonary edema and respiratory status after transcatheter PDA closure in the smallest and most premature infants
Chest x-ray haziness improved after TCDC, with smaller infants and earlier closure having more improvement. Infants with lung disease had less noticeable improved edema, indicating the difficulty to assess the hemodynamic significance of their PDA prior to closure. Further studies are needed to identify which neonates benefit most from TCDC.
