Ductal pseudoaneurysm as a late complication of patent ductus arteriosus ligation.

چکیده
A 29-year old female with a history of isolated patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) ligation 14 years back, complained of increasing shortness of breath on exertion and hoarseness for 6 years. Chest radiography revealed a widened mediastinum (Fig. 1A). Computed tomography (CT) angiography showed a ductal pseudoaneurysm and pulmonary arterial dilatation (Fig. 1B and C). Although surgical intervention was recommended, the family refused further treatment.

متن کاملLigation of patent ductus arteriosus in very low birthweight premature neonates.
The results of ligation of a patent ductus arteriosus in 30 premature neonates with a very low birth weight were analysed. The mean gestational age at birth was 27 weeks and the mean weight 811 g. Attempted closure of the ductus with indomethacin in 19 infants failed, though there was temporary closure in nine. Congestive heart failure was present in 29 and respiratory distress in 22 patients. ...

متن کاملSuccessful transcatheter closure of a residual patent ductus arteriosus with complex anatomy after surgical ligation using an amplatzer ductal occluder guided by live three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography.
Residual patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) after surgical ligation is not common, but the anatomy of the residual duct may be distorted by the surgical ligation resulting in a difficult transcatheter closure. Such distorted anatomy of the duct may not be demonstrated by the two-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (2D TEE). Fortunately, live 3D TEE provided the precise anatomy of the elong...
