  • Title: Simultaneous mitral valve replacement and ligation of persistent ductus arteriosus; a case report.
    Author: Monro JL, Sbokos CG, Conway N.
    Journal: J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg; 1975 Jan; 69(1):102-4. PubMed ID: 1110571.
    Abstract:
    The successful simultaneous closure of a persistent ductus arteriosus and mitral valve replacement in a 65-year-old woman with pulmonary hypertension is reported. The approach through a left thoracotomy gave good exposure and momentary cessation of cardiopulmonary bypass made ligation of the calcified ductus possible. Although this seems to be a rare association, when mitral valve disease is significant the simultaneous closure of the duct and mitral valve surgery is the treatment of choice.
