BACKGROUND: When medical treatment of a symptomatic arterial duct in a preterm infant fails, management is surgical. PATIENTS AND METHODS: 10 preterm neonates referred to a tertiary cardiac centre for treatment of a symptomatic patent arterial duct who underwent cardiac catheterisation with the intention of device closure. RESULTS: Successful catheter device closure of the arterial duct in nine preterm infants is described. CONCLUSION: In selected cases, catheter device closure may offer an alternative to thoracotomy and surgical ligation.
