Objective To compare the efficacy of transcatheter closure of patent ductus arteriosus by using Amplatzer occluder and a new home-made occluder.Methods Comparing the efficacy,complications and cost of 110 patients with home-made occluder and 96 patients treated with Amplatzer occluder.Results The case of complete closure:the home-made occluder group was 109(99.1%),the Amplatzer occluder group was 95(99.0%).The comparison of preoperatively clinical indexs,operative and exposure time,the rate of complete closure,hospital days and complication were not significantly different.The decrease of left ventricular diastolic and C/T have no significant difference.The total cost of the home-made occluder group was statistically lower than the Amplatzer occluder group.Conclusion Both groups have no significant difference in the efficacy and the rate of complication.The new home-made occluder is low cost and extensive applicative foreground in clinics.
