Surgical Treatment of Patent Ductus Arteriosus in Premature Infants with Extremely Low Birth Weight
The premature neonate who has a patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) with significant left-to-right shunt presents serious problems in management. Pharmacologic closure of the PDA with indomethacin seems to be the preferred initial treatment, with a high degree of success in many reports. However, indomethacin may increase the risk of brain intraventricular hemorrhage, necrotizing enterocolitis and r...
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 کاملDevelopment of a Diagnostic Clinical Score for Hemodynamically Significant Patent Ductus Arteriosus
There is no consensus about the hemodynamic significance and, therefore, the need to treat a persistent ductus arteriosus in preterm newborns. Since the diagnosis of a hemodynamically significant persistent ductus arteriosus (hsPDA) is made by a summary of non-uniform echo-criteria in combination with the clinical deterioration of the preterm neonate, standardized clinical and ultrasound scorin...
متن کاملPatent ductus arteriosus in a lamb: A case report
Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is a persistent patency of a vessel normally present in the fetus that connects the pulmonary arterial system to the aorta. The ductus arteriosus fails to close at birth when breathing commences and placental blood circulation is removed. Closure of the ductus arteriosus arises in response to decline pulmonary vascular resistance and increased systemic vascular re...

This syndrome – recognized only in the last decade – is still not accepted by the International League Against Epilepsy [6]. Rotavirus has been reported as the most common etiological agent in this condition in different studies [4,5]. However, other organisms have also been reported [3], and it has not been possible to attribute the convulsions to any organism, as yet [2]. The clinical symptom...
