Ranked #6 Nationally by U.S. News & World Report.
This multi-center retrospective review studies outcomes of infants who weighed less than 2 kilograms (about 4.4 pounds) when their patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) condition was treated with a Medtronic MVP™ micro vascular plug. PDA is a condition that occurs when a hole in the aorta that allows blood to bypass circulation to the lungs does not close normally during fetal development. The study will review safety, efficacy, complications, and outcomes 6 months after the catheterization procedure.
Patients who underwent PDA closure with the MVP Microvascular Plug between Jan. 1, 2012, and Oct. 30, 2020, will be included in the study. Males and Females: Newborns
