| 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.
