Advances in early treatment of patent ductus arteriosus in preterm infants / 国际儿科学杂志

ABSTRACT

Patent ductus arteriosus(PDA) is one of the most common congenital heart diseases in preterm infants.The continuous opening of hemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus(hsPDA) may cause a variety of serious complications, such as severe pulmonary hypertension, chronic lung disease, multiple organ dysfunction such as heart and lung, cerebral hemorrhage, pulmonary hemorrhage, necrotizing enterocolitis, and even life-threatening.Closing arterial catheters in time can help to reduce hypoxia, improve cardiopulmonary function, and reduce complications.This review summarizes the early treatment progress of arterial duct patency in preterm infants.
