Abstract

Reduced left lung perfusion has been described following percutaneous occlusion of the patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). We aimed to identify the incidence of lung perfusion abnormalities and the associated risk factors in our consecutive series. Between November 1994 and December 2003, 150 procedures were performed on 145 patients, age 4.6 +/- 4 years. Gianturco coil was used in 88.2%, Amplatzer duct occluder in 6.7%, and Rashkind Umbrella in 5.5%. Lung perfusion scan was scheduled within 48 h (LPS-1), at 6-12 months (LPS-2) and later (LPS-3) in the case of persistent abnormalities. Left lung perfusion <40% was considered abnormal. LPS-1 was obtained in 95.8% and was abnormal in 31%. LPS-2, available in 48.2%, returned to normal in 65.7% (p < 0.001). LPS-3, required in 6.2%, was normal in 55.6% (p = 0.07). Identifiable risk factors were low age and height (p < 0.01), higher Q(p)/Q(s) ratio (p < 0.05), and larger PDA size indexed for height (p < 0.001) or body surface area (p < 0.01). The number of coils or loops deployed in the pulmonary end of the PDA did not influence lung perfusion. In conclusion, we describe a high incidence of left lung perfusion reduction following percutaneous PDA occlusion, more likely in the young with ...Continue Reading

Cajal Bodies & Gems

Cajal bodies or coiled bodies are dense foci of coilin protein. Gemini of Cajal bodies, or gems, are microscopically similar to Cajal bodies. It is believed that Cajal bodies play important roles in RNA processing while gems assist the Cajal bodies. Find the latest research on Cajal bodies and gems here.
