title: Off-label use of the amplatzer ductal occluder II additional size for percutaneous treatment of acute aortic occlusion in a baby.
abstract: We describe the case of a 5-month-old baby with a pro-coagulative condition, referred for rapid atrial tachycardia. At echocardiography we found a large free-floating atrial thrombus that spontaneously embolized into the descending aorta and produced acute sub-renal occlusion. Aorta and iliac vessels were cleared using the ADO II additional sizes device. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
