Patent ductus arteriosus is a persistent communication from the time of the fetal circulation between the aorta and the pulmonary artery. Unoperated patients may present with left-to-right shunt, volume overload of the left heart structures, pulmonary hypertension and the risk of endarteritis. If the ductus is large, there is a risk of development of Eisenmenger's physiology. The treatment option in newborns is surgical ligation, in adults the option is almost exclusively catheter-based closure. Catheter-based closure is possible with the use of coils or the Amplatz ductal occluder. In our paper, we report the successful transfemoral closure of a patent ductus arteriosus with a new generation Amplatz ductal occluder (ADO II).
