Qp/Qs was 2.2 ± 0.5. Follow-up evaluation was performed with color flow mapping of the main pulmonary artery at 24 h and 6 months after closure.Results Successful occlusion was observed in 92% (23/25) for the Porstmann device, 98.7% (77/78)for the Rashkind device, 100% (43/43) for the Sideris device, 100% (69/69) for the Coil and 100%(139/139) for the Amplatzer device. No residual shunts were needed for the Porstmann, while 1.4% -15% of patients who received the Rashkind, Sideris, coils or Amplatzer needed residual shunts during follow-up. There were complications of 24% (6/25) for the Porstmann, 3.8% (3/78) for the Rashkind,1.4% (1/69) for Coils and 1.4% (2/139) for the Amplatzer. No complications were found in patients with the Sideris device.Conclusion The results showed that the Sideris device, coils and the Amplatzer device are more effective and safer than the others for the occlusion of PDA in children.展开更多
