Conservative management of patent ductus arteriosus in preterm infants
Intensive Care Med.

Abstract
We report our experience of medical treatment, chiefly based on prolonged artificial ventilation, of 33 preterm infants with PDA and heart failure whose survival rate was 88%. All of them had clinical criteria used by others to indicate surgical ligation of the ductus arteriosus. This conservative approach seems to give better results than surgical ligation, despite a high frequency of bronchopulmonary dysplasia among survivors.
