Prophylactic surgical ligation of patent ductus arteriosus for prevention of mortality and morbidity in extremely low birth weight infants.
BACKGROUND Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is associated with increased mortality and morbidity in preterm infants. Prophylactic indomethacin results in favorable intermediate outcomes such as reduction of significant PDA, need for surgical ligation, severe intraventricular hemorrhage and serious pulmonary hemorrhage without modifying long-term neurosensory outcomes. Little is known about the ef...
متن کاملSurgical Ligation on Significant Patent Ductus Arteriosus in Very Low Birth Weight Infants: Comparison between Early and Late Ligations
BACKGROUND We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of early surgical ligation (within 15 days of age) over late surgical ligation (after 15 days of age) by a comparative analysis of very low birth weight (VLBW) infants undergoing surgical correction for symptomatic patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) over the course of 6 years in our hospital. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed all the medic...

متن کاملNatural History of Patent Ductus Arteriosus in Very Low Birth Weight Infants after Discharge.
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.
متن کاملParacetamol for the Treatment of Patent Ductus Arteriosus in Very Low Birth Weight Infants
Persistent patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is associated with significant co-morbidities and increased mortality in preterm infants, especially very low birth weight (VLBW) infants. A large number of studies on the management of PDA have been published. Despite PDA being such a common condition in preterm infants, there is no consensus on which PDAs to treat, when to treat and how best to treat....
