Late follow-up of occlusion of the patent ductus arteriosus with the Rashkind device with emphasis on long-term efficacy and risk for infections

The Rashkind device is a stable and durable prosthesis well beyond 10 years, without any tendency toward fractures or distorsion. Long-term events are rare and continuous clinical follow-up is not required; no type of endarteritis prophylaxis is needed for patients with complete occlusion of the duc...

Zusammenfassung:The Rashkind device is a stable and durable prosthesis well beyond 10 years, without any tendency toward fractures or distorsion. Long-term events are rare and continuous clinical follow-up is not required; no type of endarteritis prophylaxis is needed for patients with complete occlusion of the ductus.
