  • Title: Dorsal minithoracotomy for ductus arteriosus clip closure in premature neonates.
    Author: Vicente WV, Rodrigues AJ, Ribeiro PJ, Evora PR, Menardi AC, Ferreira CA, Alves L, Bassetto S.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 2004 Mar; 77(3):1105-6. PubMed ID: 14992947.
    Abstract:
    We present a new surgical technique for patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) occlusion in premature neonates (PN). Through a dorsal minithoracotomy the PDA is dissected extrapleurally with q-tips and clipped. The short surgical time, avoidance of pleural drainage, and prevention of late breast deformity are the operation highlights.
