Patent ductus arteriosus

Patent ductus arteriosus (patent aortopulmonary orifice) is a congenital heart defect in which the ductus arteriosus does not close completely by the end of intrauterine development. This can lead to various complications including pulmonary hypertension, heart failure and others.

The ductus arteriosus is an important organ in the development of the cardiovascular system, which connects the aorta to the lungs during fetal life. It serves to transport blood from the aorta to the lungs and back, which is necessary to saturate the blood with oxygen and remove carbon dioxide.

However, if the ductus arteriosus remains open after birth, it can lead to a number of problems. Fluids can accumulate in the lungs, which can cause pneumonia and other infections. In addition, blood from the aorta cannot return back to the heart, which leads to a decrease in pressure in the aorta and the development of pulmonary hypertension.

Treatment for patent ductus arteriosus depends on the severity of the disease and may include surgical correction or drug therapy. Surgery may involve closing the ductus arteriosus, removing fluid from the lungs, and placing a prosthetic device to maintain pressure in the lungs. Drug therapy may include the use of diuretics to reduce fluid volume in the lungs and improve pulmonary blood flow.

In general, patent ductus arteriosus is a serious congenital heart defect that requires timely treatment. Early detection and treatment can help prevent complications from developing and improve patients' quality of life.

Patent ductus arteriosus refers to the openings that are located at the junction of the bronchi and aorta, allowing blood to pass from these vessels into the pulmonary trunk. The problem of such a hole is aggravated by the fact that blood flows not only through the blood supplying vessels, but also through the ductus arteriosus, which leads to problems with the health of the heart and lungs in newborns.

An important role in the development of a patent ductus arteriosus is played by oxygenated hemoglobin circulating in the blood, which makes the aorta more mobile than nature intended. It is connected at the chemical level in the areas where the ducts and bronchi connect, where

Patent ductus arteriosus

Patent ductus arteriosus (ductus arteriosus) is an anatomical anomaly in which the duct between the right ventricle of the heart and the lungs does not completely close before the fetus is born. As a result, hemodynamic disturbances in the lungs occur, which can lead to various health problems, including the development of heart failure and pneumonia.
