  • Title: Ligation of patent ductus arteriosus in the very low birthweight newborn infant.
    Author: Cooke RW, Gribbin B, Gunning AJ, Pickering D.
    Journal: Arch Dis Child; 1978 Apr; 53(4):271-5. PubMed ID: 348124.
    Abstract:
    Surgical closure of a patent ductus arteriosus was performed in 8 low birthweight infants suffering from cardiorespiratory failure secondary to a large left-to-right shunt. Mortality from the operation was nil, but only 4 (50%) ultimately survived. Earlier intervention may reduce mortality in these high-risk infants.
