Abstract: It is accepted practice to close large patent arterial ducts (PDA) with Amplatzer duct occluder devices, with extremely low rates of residual PDA. This article reports a child who required device closure of PDA with two Amplatzer PDA devices on two separate occasions, despite the first device deployment being a standard placement of an appropriately sized Amplatzer device in the usual position.
