Feasibility, Safety, and Short-Term Outcomes of Transcatheter Patent Ductus Arteriosus Closure in Premature Infants on High-Frequency Jet Ventilation.

ABSTRACT: Background Prolonged exposure to a hemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is associated with major morbidity, particularly in infants born at <27 weeks' gestation. High-frequency jet ventilation (HFJV) is a standard of care at our center. There are no data about transcatheter PDA closure while on HFJV. The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility, safety, and outcomes of HFJV during transcatheter PDA closure. Methods and Results This is a retrospective cohort study of premature infants undergoing transcatheter device closure on HFJV. The primary outcome was successful device placement. Secondary outcomes included procedure time, fluoroscopy time and dose, time off unit, device complications, need for escalation in respiratory support, and 7-day survival. Subgroup
