Rapid advances in paediatric interventional cardiology allow transcatheter closure of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in increasingly smaller patients. We describe a successful transcatheter closure of a large tubular PDA in a symptomatic preterm infant of 2,210 g using an Amplatzer Vascular Plug IV device. © 2010 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
