Journal CME: SCAI Position Statement on Transcatheter Occlusion of Patent Ductus Arteriosus in Premature Infants

This JSCAI journal CME activity is designed for the article, “SCAI Position Statement on Transcatheter Occlusion of Patent Ductus Arteriosus in Premature Infants.” Transcatheter occlusion of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in premature infants is a minimally invasive procedure used to close a persistent fetal blood vessel that can lead to serious complications if left untreated. This approach has shown high success rates and is increasingly favored over surgical ligation due to its lower invasiveness and reduced risk of post-ligation syndrome. The procedure is typically considered when medical therapy fails or is contraindicated, especially in infants with hemodynamically significant PDA.
