Unexpectedly, ligation of the infected ductus has shed a new light on the most serious of all forms of heart disease-bacterial en...
متن کاملPatent ductus arteriosus; a follow-up study of 73 cases.
The best known studies of the eventual effects of patency of the ductus arteriosus are based upon autopsy results. They suggest a high incidence of serious complications such as bacterial endocarditis and congestive heart failure. Table I summarizes the average age at death, and the incidence rates of bacterial endocarditis and congestive heart failure in three published series. Maude Abbott's ...
