1 lis 2020 · A persistently patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in preterm infants can have clinical consequences.
Surgery. Surgery can close PDAs. Surgical closure is often advised for babies younger than 6 months who have large defects and symptoms such as poor weight gain and fast breathing. For babies who don't have symptoms, any surgery may be delayed until after age 6 to 12 months. Your child's cardiologist will advise when the surgery should be done.
25 sty 2023 · A large patent ductus arteriosus or one that's causing serious health problems may be diagnosed immediately at birth. But some smaller ones might not be noticed until later in life. If you have a PDA, you may be referred to a health care provider trained in heart problems present at birth.
Patent ductus arteriosus. Physiologic consequences depend on ductal size. A small ductus rarely causes symptoms. A large ductus causes a large left-to-right shunt.
Unless there's pulmonary hypertension or signs of heart failure, pregnancy is low risk in patients with PDA. Will You Need More Surgery? Once a PDA has been closed, it's unlikely that more surgery will be needed. Rarely, a patient may have a residual hole. Whether it will need to be closed depends on its size.
Patent ductus arteriosus, or PDA, is a heart defect that can develop soon after birth. It affects the way blood flows through a baby’s lungs. Mild PDA might not need treatment, but some children with the defect may require catheterization or surgery.
