Abstract

Patent Ductus Arteriosus ( PDA ) is  one of the commonest acyanotic congenital heart disease.Surgical  or  device  closure is done when medical management  fails.Choice of  management depends on  size  of  PDA. A study was  conducted to assess the type of  surgical technique to be followed either direct ligation or division and suturing.10 Cases of  PDA  were studied from  May 2012  to  May  2017  ages ranged from  12  days  to  five  years  with  youngest  weighing 650 grams.There were no postoperative complications and  death.In two patients division suturing done and  in  other eight ligation  was  done.Repeat 2 D echo after three months did not show recanalization in either group.Conclusion was  both techniques are   equally effective but  division suturing was  more  difficult  than ligation. DOI: 10.21276/AWCH.1803
