The Amplatz Canine Duct Occluder (ACDO) is a self-expanding device made from a Nitinol wire mesh and is used to close patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in dogs. A distal flat disk on the pulmonary artery side of the ductal ostium provides secure positioning in the pulmonary artery.

The Amplatz canine duct occluder (ACDO) is a nitinol mesh device with a short waist that separates a flat distal disc from a cupped proximal disc. The device is designed to conform to the morphology of the canine patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). PDA dimensions are determined by angiography, and a gui …

2022年12月19日 · Occlusion of PDA can be achieved by surgical thoracotomy with extra luminal ligation or via minimally invasive techniques. Interventional occlusion of PDA using a specialised device called an Amplatz Canine Ductal Occluder or “ACDO” (Figure 3) has been well described in veterinary medicine (Gordon et al., 2010).

Transcatheter occlusion of the PDA was performed using the Amplatz® Canine Duct Occluder (ACDO) via the femoral artery. The device was placed under fluoroscopic guidance and successfully occluded the PDA. The continuous heart murmur disappeared immediately after the correction and no residual flow was detected.

2010年8月1日 · Ductal occlusion using an ACDO is a safe and efficacious therapy for PDA in dogs. This report confirms the positive clinical outcome of the original report in a large cohort of dogs.

2007年11月1日 · The Amplatz ® canine duct occluder (ACDO) is a nitinol mesh device with a short waist that separates a flat distal disc from a cupped proximal disc. The device is designed to conform to the morphology of the canine patent ductus arteriosus (PDA).

2020年1月28日 · Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is one of the most common diagnosed congenital disease in dogs that usually causes heart failure and death unless corrected at a young age. A 2.5-year-old female intact Coton de Tuléar was referred and diagnosed with a left to right shunt PDA.

Ductal occlusion using an ACDO is a safe and efficacious therapy for PDA in dogs. This report confirms the positive clinical outcome of the original report in a large cohort of dogs. Ductal occlusion using an ACDO has a high rate of initial and 24-h complete occlusion.

2021年2月1日 · A 4-mm Canine Duct Occluder (ACDO) was successfully placed via introduction into the right jugular vein and retrograde manipulation from the pulmonary artery across the ductal opening. No residual flow was detected postoperatively, and the patient recovered uneventfully without significant complications.

Background: Deployment of the Amplatz Canine Duct Occluder (ACDO) is the preferred method for minimally invasive occlusion of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in dogs, with appropriate device sizing crucial to successful closure. Dogs of any body weight can be affected by PDA.
