title: Endovascular aortic repair of patent ductus arteriosus in an adult patient.
abstract: We describe the case of a large patent ductus arteriosus in a 52-year old man, which was deemed unsuitable for coil occlusion or Amplatzer duct occluder. His ductus was successfully closed using Talent prostheses (Medtronic AVE, Santa Rosa, CA, USA). The postoperative course was uneventful.
