Abstract

A new method of percutaneous nephrostomy using techniques to place a No. 12 French balloon catheter in the renal collecting system is described. Case reports demonstrate tumor palliation and temporary drainage to improve the very ill prior to definitive surgery. A translumbar aortogram catheter is placed lateral to paraspinous muscles and Dotter vascular dilators are used to allow insertion of the large balloon catheter.

Catheter closure of the arterial duct in preterm infants.

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.
