Natural History of Patent Ductus Arteriosus in Very Low Birth Weight Infants after Discharge.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Data on the natural history of infants discharged with patent ductus arteriosus is sparse. We report on the 36-months follow-up after hospitalization in 68 infants discharged with an open ductus arteriosus. Notwithstanding a high spontaneous closure rate, catheter intervention in 5 infants illustrates a critical need for cardiologic follow-up.

Patent ductus arteriosus, indomethacin and necrotizing enterocolitis in very low birth weight infants: a population-based study.
BACKGROUND Patent ductus arteriosus is a risk factor for the development of necrotizing enterocolitis. The use of indomethacin to treat patent ductus arteriosus in preterm infants may either decrease the incidence of necrotizing enterocolitis by stabilizing or closing the ductus arteriosus or increase its incidence by a direct constricting effect on mesenteric blood vessels. The authors sought ...
متن کاملVelocity time integral for right upper pulmonary vein in VLBW infants with patent ductus arteriosus
OBJECTIVE: Early diagnosis of significant patent ductus arteriosus reduces the risk of clinical worsening in very low birth weight infants. Echocardiographic patent ductus arteriosus shunt flow pattern can be used to predict significant patent ductus arteriosus. Pulmonary venous flow, expressed as vein velocity time integral, is correlated to ductus arteriosus closure. The aim of this study is ...
متن کاملPatent Ductus Arteriosus in Preterm Infants
301 VOLUME 48__APRIL 17, 2011 Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is a major morbidity encountered in preterm neonates, especially in babies less than 28 weeks gestation or 1000g. Natural ductal closure is inversely related to gestational age and birth weight. The incidence ranges from 15% to 37% in newborn babies less than 1750 grams [1-3]. This is very high compared to incidence of 2/1000 in term ...
متن کاملLigation of patent ductus arteriosus in very low birthweight premature neonates.
The results of ligation of a patent ductus arteriosus in 30 premature neonates with a very low birth weight were analysed. The mean gestational age at birth was 27 weeks and the mean weight 811 g. Attempted closure of the ductus with indomethacin in 19 infants failed, though there was temporary closure in nine. Congestive heart failure was present in 29 and respiratory distress in 22 patients. ...

Introduction Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is due to the failure of the ductus arteriosus to close after birth, and its incidence being inversely related to gestational age and birth weight (1,2). The incidence of PDA in term infants has been estimated to be 57 per 100 000 live births, whereas every third preterm infant with a birth weight of 501 to 1500 g can be expected to have a persistent ...
