The risk of closure of a patent ductus arteriosus in the elderly is high because of the fragility of the aorta and aneurysmal change in the ductus. Stent-grafting has emerged as a method of treatment of pathology of the aorta. We describe a case where this new endovascular technique has been successfully applied for closure of a patent ductus arteriosus in a high-risk patient. It may become part of the armamentarium for this pathology in adults.
