Intended purpose
The Amplatzer Duct Occluder is a percutaneous, transcatheter occlusion device intended for the nonsurgical closure of a patent ductus arteriosus (PDA).
Functional description
A self-expanding, nitinol mesh device made for the occlusion of a patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). A retention skirt on the occluder’s aortic side provides secure positioning in the ampulla of the ductus. As the occluder is implanted, it expands outward and the wires push against the wall of the ductus.
