Intraaortic Closure of Recanalized PDa with Aneurysmal Formation using Left Heart Bypass

좌심 체외순환을 이용한 재개통된 동맥관 개존증 - 수술 치험 1례 -

We experienced a rare case of a recanalization and aneurysmal formation of the previously ligated PDA on 18 year-old-girl. Continuous murmur was noted 3 months after operation and this recanalization was confirmed by angiography and cardiac catheterization. It was impossible to mobilize aneurysmal PDA with safety, so we closed the defect using left heart bypass to prevent spinal card injury. Postoperative course was uneventful and the patient was discharged in good condition.
