Persistent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is a heart condition found in patients of all ages that involves the failure of the ductus arteriosus to close after birth. The effects of PDA depend on the specific anatomy and other heart issues. While surgery was originally used to treat PDA starting in 1939, over the last 3 decades catheter procedures have replaced surgery for most patients. Advances in echocardiography have also improved the detection and understanding of PDA in people of all ages. Proper diagnosis and treatment can prevent or reduce complications from PDA.
