To assess the influence of ductal size on the results of transcatheter closure of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) with coils, 154 consecutive patients were studied prospectively. Ductal size was defined as the narrowest diameter of ductus measured on aortography. All patients were divided into 5 groups according to ductal size: &lt; 1 mm, 1-1.9 mm, 2-2.9 mm, 3-3.9 mm, and &gt; or = 4 mm. The occlusion of PDA with coils was performed through a transarterial approach. The results were evaluated by angiography at 10 minutes and by color Doppler echocardiography at 1 day, 2 days, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months after the procedure. The immediate occlusion rates for ductal sizes &lt; 1 mm, 1-1.9 mm, 2-2.9 mm, 3-3.9 mm, and &gt; or = 4 mm were 89.7%. 75.4%, 51.4%, 30.8%, and 40%, respectively; whereas the occlusion rates at 12-months follow-up were 100%, 98.5%, 97.3%, 69.2%, and 80%, respectively. There were no significant differences in occlusion rate at 12-months follow-up among the groups with ductal sizes &lt; 3 mm or among the groups with ductal sizes &gt; or = 3 mm. The occlusion rate for ductal size &lt; 3 mm at each follow-up time was significantly higher than that for ductal size &gt; or = 3 mm (10 minutes: 71.8% vs 34.8%. P = 0.001; 12-months: 98.5% vs 73.9%, P &lt; 0.001). The occlusion rate of residual shuntings at 12-months follow-up for ductal size &lt; 3 mm was also significantly higher than that for ductal size &gt; or = 3 mm (94.6% vs 60%, P = 0.007). The results of the present study demonstrate that ductal size &lt; 3 mm had a higher occlusion rate than that for a size &gt; or = 3 mm. PDA with a size &gt; or = 3 mm may need other treatment strategies or other devices to achieve better results.
