Fig 1 (A) Computed tomography (CT) scan demonstrating an 3.5 cm large aneurysm of a patent ductus arteriosus ([PDA]surrounded by arrows). The left pulmonary artery is severely compressed, the aorta is calcified. (B) On CT scan 3 months after the procedure, the PDA has disappeared and the left pulmonary artery is widely patent.

Fig 2 (A) Preoperative angiogram shows the aneurysm of the patent ductus arteriosus ([PDA] surrounded by arrows) and the left to right shunt with immediate pulmonary trunk opacification. (B) Immediate postprocedural angiogram shows the stent graft covering the entry of the PDA without compromising the subclavian artery. The shunt has disappeared.
