    Abstract:
    This paper summarizes the experience with ligation of persistent ductus arteriosus in prematures performed in the intensive care unit during the years 1986 to 1988. Records of 35 operated prematures on artificial ventilation were analyzed retrospectively. Management and organization of the operation are described. For comparison, records were analysed of 47 prematures, also artificially ventilated, who during the years 1978 to 1986 had to be transported to an operating theatre over a distance of 3 or 10 km for the ligation.
