  • Title: Unusual giant patent ductus arteriosus associated with ventricular septal defect and discrete aortic coarctation. A case report.
    Author: Basave M, Rangel A, Albarrán H, Nandayapa O.
    Journal: Arch Cardiol Mex; 2001; 71(2):146-50. PubMed ID: 11565307.
    Abstract:
    The authors present the case of a 26 years old female, 56 kg weight and 154 cm height, with a giant patent ductus arteriosus (2.4 cm of internal diameter), ventricular septal defect, discrete preductal narrowing of the aortic arch and pulmonary artery hypertension that did not diminished after 100% oxygen breathing. The authors speculate about the origin of the giant ductus here presented, based on hemodynamic and embryological data.
