Abstract:
Various types of surgical techniques have been reported for the closure of complicated PDA, since Morrow first described an innovatory operative method. At our institute, extracorporeal circulation has been frequently used as a support measure for these operations to ensure the safety of the operation. Ten patients with complicated PDA were operated under extracorporeal circulation. All patients but one were adults. The reason for use of extracorporeal circulation included age, presence of atherosclerosis or calcification of the ductus, short neck ductus, ductal aneurysms, right sided descending aorta and recanalization after previous ligation. The ductus was approached through the left lateral thoracotomy in 8 patients and median sternotomy in 2. The Morrow procedure was performed in 2 patients. No hospital death occurred, although the mean duration of the hospital stay after the operation was longer in these cases than in cases with simple PDA. We conclude that the use of extracorporeal circulation is safe and effective for the closure of complicated PDA.
