dc.description.abstract | Patent ductus arteriosus is a congenital heart disease where the fetal ductus arteriosus does not close spontaneously after birth. Unless treated, its persistence results in non-physiologic blood flow between the proximal descending thoracic aorta and the pulmonary artery. Among the operated patients with double ligation, 2 to 23% of them may develop residual shunts which may complicate with rare but fatal endarteritis and embolic phenomena. However, little is known about the magnitude of residual shunt and associated factors among children operated for patent ductus arteriosus in Ethiopia | |
