This paper reports the unusual case of a 76‐year‐old woman who was discovered to have a hemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus following uneventful mitral valve replacement, utilizing cardiopulmonary bypass. The shunt was successfully eliminated using a new transcatheter device, thereby obviating the need for further surgery. The patient did not have calcification within the ductus, making diagnosis prior to surgery more difficult.
