Abstract

Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is one of the most common congenital heart defects. Failure of the ductus arteriosus (DA) to close within 72 hours after birth   result  in PDA. Clinical signs of ductal patency   are  murmur, tachycardia, bounding peripheral pulses, and congestive heart failure . Complications of a persistently patent DA after birth  are heart failure, renal dysfunction, necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC)  and altered postnatal nutrition and growth. Also  risk   of  developing  of chronic lung disease .Pharmacologic closure can be done   by   administration of intravenous indomethacin or ibuprofen .Other  management strategies are cath intervention, and surgical ligation.
