ABSTRACT
A 16-month-old Labrador-Poodle cross (case 1) and a 3-month-old German shorthaired pointer (case 2) were referred for patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) occlusion. Two-dimensional transthoracic and two- and three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography revealed a window-like PDA characterized by a wide and short ductus. Due to the atypical PDA morphology with no ampulla in case 1, ductal occlusion was attempted with non-canine-specific Amplatzer occluder devices. However, these were too small and failed to remain stable. Amplatz Canine Duct Occluder (ACDO) devices were used with success in both cases. Due to the defects' morphology, the proximal ACDO disc protruded into the aorta but there were no signs of obstruction to aortic blood flow 16 months (case 1) and 1 month (case 2) post-occlusion. We describe two cases of a window-like type PDA that were successfully occluded with an ACDO.
