    PATENT DUCTUS ARTERIOSUS


    PATENT DUCTUS ARTERIOSUS

    * Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is a persistent opening


    between the two major blood vessels leading from the
    heart. The heart problem is present from birth. That
    means it is a congenital heart defect.
    * An opening called the ductus arteriosus is part of a
    baby's blood flow system in the womb. It usually closes
    shortly after birth. If it remains open, it's called a patent
    ductus arteriosus.

    * Mild PDA might not need treatment, but some children


    with the defect may require catheterization or surgery
    * CAUSES

    * The cause of PDA is not known, but genetics


    might play a role.
    * PDA is more common in premature babies and
    affects twice as many girls as boys.
    * It's also common among babies with neonatal
    respiratory distress syndrome, babies with
    genetic disorders (such as Down syndrome),
    and babies whose mothers had rubella
    (German measles) during pregnancy.
    SIGNS & SYMPTOMS

    Babies with a large PDA might have symptoms such as:

    * A bounding (strong and forceful) pulse


    * Fast breathing
    * Not feeding well
    * Shortness of breath
    * Sweating while feeding
    * Tiring very easily
    * Poor growth
    DIAGNOSIS

    * Echocardiogram — an ultrasound scan of the


    heart.

    * Electrocardiogram — a test that uses


    electrodes to evaluate the heart
    Treatment

    * If a small PDA does not cause severe symptoms, it may not


    need treatment. Sometimes the connection may close on
    its own a few months after birth. A baby may need
    medicine such as indomethacin (an anti-inflammatory)
    during these months to help close the connection, or
    water medicine (diuretics) to reduce the risk of fluid
    buildup.
    * Larger connections usually need treatment with
    catheterization or surgery.
    Cardiac catheterization
    * Catheterization is the most common treatment for PDA.
    During this minimally invasive procedure, a pediatric
    interventional cardiologist:
    Makes a tiny incision near a large blood vessel in the leg

    Inserts a catheter (thin, flexible tube) into the blood vessel


    and threads it up to the PDA

    Slides a coil or other plug-like device through the catheter


    and into the PDA to close it.
    PATENT DUCTUS ARTERIOSUS SURGERY
    * Patent ductus arteriosus surgery is usually reserved for
    babies with very large PDAs. Open surgery presents more
    risks than cardiac catheterization and requires a longer
    recovery time. During this procedure, a pediatric heart
    surgeon:

    Makes an incision in the chest

    Closes the connection with stitches or small metal clips.
