Ligation of patent ductus arteriosus in infants weighing less than 1500 grams.
Heart failure and persistent respiratory insufficiency associated with patent ductus arterioeus occur frequently in lowbirth-weight infants.'-" Surgical ligation of the patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) has been advocated when conservative medical management fails.3 '7 This report describes our experience with 14 patients averaging a weight of less than 1500 grams each who were presented for thora...
متن کاملLeft ventricular efficiency after ligation of patent ductus arteriosus for premature infants.
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the hemodynamic changes in left ventricular function before and after patent ductus arteriosus ligation in premature infants with regard to the energetic efficiency of left ventricular pumping. METHODS Thirty-five premature infants who underwent patent ductus arteriosus ligation were enrolled in this study. Left ventricular efficiency was ev...
متن کاملLeft Ventricular Non-Compaction Associated With Patent Ductus Arteriosus
Isolated left ventricular non-compaction (LVNC) is a rare congenital anomaly. It is characterized by numerous prominent ventricular trabecullations and deep intertrabecular recesses. The incidences of associated cardiovascular complication and congenital heart disease are high. It is associated with congestive heart failure, ventricular arrhythmia, embolic events, and distinctive facial dysmorp...
متن کاملPatent Ductus Arteriosus Closure in Prematurities Weighing Less than 1 Kg by Subaxillary Mini-thoracotomy
The surgical closure of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is provided more frequently in extremely low birth weight babies who are usually deemed unsuitable for pharmacological closure. We have adopted subaxillary mini-thoracotomy in order to lessen surgical trauma in these babies; and its clinical results were analyzed. From April 2004 to August 2008, out of 50 babies at the neonatal intensive ca...
متن کاملLigation of Patent Ductus Arteriosus for Premature Infants in Intensive Care Unit
Purpose: To review the results of ligation of patent ductus arteriosus in premature babies in an intensive care unit. Method: Retrospective review of premature babies who underwent ligation of patent ductus arteriosus in the intensive care unit, Grantham Hospital, during the period from January, 1999 to December, 2002. Results are compared with those who underwent ligation of patent ductus arte...
