  • Title: [Prenatal diagnosis of severe stenosis of the ductus arteriosus Botalli in a twin pregnancy].
    Author: Kaya S, Weisner D, Schulz R, Semm K.
    Journal: Geburtshilfe Frauenheilkd; 1994 Aug; 54(8):468-70. PubMed ID: 7982552.
    Abstract:
    Premature ductus arteriosus stenosis is a rare cardiovascular disease, which has a poor prognosis. The case presented was detected even in early pregnancy and was progressed rapidly to the stage of severe foetal heart failure. The patient was first seen at 20 weeks of gestation with one of the foetuses of a twin pregnancy, showing signs of cardiac decompensation and advanced hydrops fetalis universalis. Obstruction of the ductus arteriosus may result from maternal tocolysis treatment with prostaglandin synthetase inhibitors, such as indomethacin or maternal salicylate or in conjunction with foetal post maturity.
