Patent duktus arteriozus çok düşük doğum ağırlıklı prematüre bebeklerde soldan sağa şanta bağlı olarak konjestif kalp yetmezliği, nekrotizan enterokolit, bronkopulmoner displazi, intrakraniyal kanama ve ölüme neden olabilmektedir. Çok düşük doğum ağırlıklı prematüre bebeklerde patent duktus arteriozusun cerrahi ligasyonu için en uygun zamanın ne olduğu tartışma konusu olmaya devam etmektedir. Optimum tedavi yaklaşımına rağmen şiddetli duktal şanta bağlı intestinal, renal ve pulmoner problem yaşayan 3 hastamız oldu. Bir hasta medikal tedaviye dirençliydi. İki hastaya kontrendikasyon nedeniyle medikal tedavi verilemedi. Duktus arteriosus açıklığı olan çok düşük doğum ağırlıklı bebeklerde medikal tedaviye yanıtsızlık veya tedavinin kontrendike olduğu durumlarda erken cerrahi yaklaşım akılda tutulmalıdır.
Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) causing large left-to-right shunts may lead to congestive heart failure, necrotizing enterocolitis, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, intracranial hemorrhage, and death in extremely-low-birthweight premature infants. Optimal timefor surgical ligation of PDA in extremely-low-birth-weight premature infants remains controversial.Herein, we report 3 patients who had intestinal, renal, and pulmonary complications due to severe PDA. One patient’s ductus was refractory to medical treatment while the remaining2 patients could not receive medical treatment because of contraindications. We suggest that early surgical ligation should be considered in extremely-low-birth-weight premature infants with PDA refractory to medical treatment or in those who have contraindications for medical treatment
