What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The rate of major complications through 180 days after an attempted Piccolo device implant

    Measured: Through 180 days after an attempted Piccolo device implant

  2. The rate of effective closure of the ductus arteriosus among subjects with a successful Piccolo implant as assessed by the presence of either a Grade 0 or Grade 1 shunt at the 6-month follow-up by transthoracic echocardiography

    Measured: At the 6-month follow-up
