A Simplified Technic for the Detection of Patent Ductus Arteriosus and of Other Left-to-Right Shunts Originating from the Aorta
نویسنده
چکیده
THE PRESENCE of an isolated patent ductus arteriosus can generally be determined by clinical examination. However, the differentiation of patent ductus arteriosus from the more unusual left-to-right shunts originating from the aorta is notoriously difficult, and in the presence of an associated intracardiac shunt the recognition of a patent ductus arteriosus may not be possible even by means of cardiac catheterization. The diagnosis of this malformation can be established by means of retrograde thoracic aortography

متن کاملLeft-Sided Patent Ductus Arteriosus
W HEN there is a right-sided aortic arch, persistence of a left-sided ductus arteriosus can readily be demonstrated by angiocardiography. This is important because in some types of eyanotic congenital heart disease, such as in the tetralogy of Fallot, anl artificial aortico-pulmonary (Blalock-Taussig' or Pott S2 shunt) is often created in order to alleviate the distress produced by anoxia. Two ...

THE left-to-right shunts found in small atrial or ventricular septal defects or in patent ductus arteriosus are easily demonstrated during cardiac catheterization by both rightand left-sided approaches.' Efforts to evaluate shunting due to these defects without cardiac catheterization have depended on measurements of the cardiac output curves obtained by various external counting technics.Y Bec...

متن کاملPatent ductus arteriosus in a lamb: A case report
Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is a persistent patency of a vessel normally present in the fetus that connects the pulmonary arterial system to the aorta. The ductus arteriosus fails to close at birth when breathing commences and placental blood circulation is removed. Closure of the ductus arteriosus arises in response to decline pulmonary vascular resistance and increased systemic vascular re...
