| patent ductus arteriosus | <cardiology, embryology, paediatrics> A condition where the normal channel between the pulmonary artery and the aorta fails to close at birth. In normal foetal circulation the blood bypasses the pulmonary circuit since oxygen and nutrients are acquired through the placenta. After birth, this channel normally closes in response to ventilation of the lungs. Those who are affected may demonstrate poor growth, shortness of breath and rapid respiratory rate. Diagnosis is by echocardiogram and treatment involves the use of indomethacin to stimulate ductus arteriosus closure. Surgical ligation will be required in those cases unresponsive to medical management. (27 Sep 1997) |

| ductus arteriosus |
An open artery that connects the aorta and pulmonary artery before birth. Normally closes after birth but if it doesn't, then surgery or medical treatment may be required.

| ductus arteriosus |
During life in the uterus, blood circulation between the two halves of the heart mix through a connection between the aorta and the pulmonary artery. This connection normally closes shortly after birth. In infants with hypoplastic left-heart syndrome, the presence of this "open" ductus arteriosus permits blood exiting the heart to circulate the body. Closure of the ductus arteriosus results in death of these infants.
