Abstract

Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) can occur as part of more congenital cardiac malformations or as an isolate finding. Spontaneous, transcatheter, surgical closure, and pharmacological treatment have been reported. We present a case of recurrent PDA after the initial course of a pharmacological treatment. Also this case focuses on recurrent PDA after the initial course of a pharmacological treatment.
