    Abstract:
    In this study, a new surgical technique for the surgical treatment of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is evaluated. The subaxillary extrapleural approach was performed on 836 patients with patent ductus arteriosus. And 20 of these patients were evaluated for postoperative outcomes compared with the routine technique. The results indicated that the new method is safe, less traumatic and has better cosmetic effects. It is concluded in this article that the subaxillary extrapleural approach for PDA is a good modification to the routine surgical technique, that is surgery through the posterolateral approach.
