Patent arterial duct
Patent arterial duct (PAD) is a congenital heart abnormality defined as persistent patency in term infants older than three months. Isolated PAD is found in around 1 in 2000 full term infants. A higher prevalence is found in preterm infants, especially those with low birth weight. The female to male ratio is 2:1. Most patients are asymptomatic when the duct is small. With a moderate-to-large du...
متن کاملEvolution of strategies for management of the patent arterial duct.
Persistent patency of the arterial duct represents one of the most common lesions in the field of congenital cardiac disease. The strategies for management continue to evolve. In this review, we focus on management beyond the neonatal period. We review the temporal evolution of strategies for management, illustrate the currently available the techniques for permanent closure of the patent arter...
متن کاملPatent arterial duct and vascular ring in a premature infant.
We report a case of a 750 grams premature female who was scheduled for surgical ligation of a patent arterial duct. Intra-operative findings showed a patent arterial duct in association to a retro-esophageal aortic arch creating a complete vascular ring around the trachea, which was successfully divided. A vascular ring should be ruled-out in premature infants prior to ductal ligation at bidime...
متن کاملAortic obstruction caused by device occlusion of patent arterial duct.
A 2 year old girl is reported in whom deployment of the Amplatzer ductal occluder caused significant aortic obstruction, requiring surgical removal of the device. This case emphasises the need for careful echocardiographic and angiographic assessment of the position of the Amplatzer ductal occluder before and after detaching the device from its delivery system, with particular emphasis on the p...
متن کاملPatent arterial duct: when should it be closed?
Ligation of a patent arterial duct in a 7 year old girl with intractable heart failure in 1938 was the first successful “cardiac” operation and may therefore be considered the forerunner of the remarkable developments in surgery for both congenital and acquired heart disease which have occurred since then. It was soon established that ligation of a large arterial duct could not only resolve hea...
