Can you tell me how do i treat patent ductus arteriosus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Treatment depends on the age of the patient and size of the patent ductus arteriosus (pda). Tiny pdas may require no treatment. Large pdas in prematures may close with Indomethacin administration or require surgery. Significant pdas in older children and adults can be closed by catheter delivered devices in most cases. Long-term outcomes are excellent.
