Abstract

This study concerns the late results observed at follow-up[average: 32.5 months] of 23 patients, in whom Patent Ductus Arteriosus with pulmonary hypertension among 55 patients. They were operated from May 1984 to July 1987 in Chonnam University Medical School. There was predominance of woman [2.5:1]. No operative death occurred. All of patients subside preoperative symptoms, but 1 patient diagnosed recannalization of duct at follow-up. Systolic murmur was found over the pulmonary area in 5 patients [22 %], but it may be not related to systolic pulmonary arterial pressure[SPAP]. Also, SPAP were normalized in 74 % of patients and had mild hypertension in 26 % of patients. Although the patients had Patent Ductus Arteriosus with pulmonary hypertension, successful surgical correction was carried out safely in all instance but one, by ligation and facilitated by hypotensive anesthesia.
