Keywords: Abdominal aorta; ductus arteriosus; transcatheter closure
Although percutaneous interventions have been increasing for closure of patent ductus arteriosus, there may be situations where procedure-related complications are encountered and surgical help is required. In this article, we present a five-year-old girl in whom an Amplatzer duct occluder was first dislodged into the descending aorta and then into abdominal aorta. The device was removed through open abdominal surgery by temporarily occluding the aorta.
