ResumoAbstract Transcatheter closure of persistent ductus arteriosus (PDA) with a diameter of >9 mm is considered to be impossible or at least difficult with the occlusion systems that are currently available. We report a simple technique for occluding oversized PDAs with two Rashkind umbrellas introduced simultaneously. Using this technique, a large PDA with a diameter of 13 mm was successfully occluded in a 40‐year‐old man. Complete closure without residual shunt was documented by echocardiogram and angiogram. © 1995 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
