Surgical ligation, not transcatheter closure, associated with a higher severity of bronchopulmonary dysplasia in extremely preterm infant intervened for patent ductus arteriosus

Objective Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is a common complication among premature infants, which may be responsible for prematurity‐related complications such as bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). It is unclear whether different interventional methods contribute to the severity of BPD, given the orig...

Description
Summary:Objective Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is a common complication among premature infants, which may be responsible for prematurity‐related complications such as bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). It is unclear whether different interventional methods contribute to the severity of BPD, given the original National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) 2001 definition. To date, surgical ligation and the transcatheter approach have been equally successful in premature infants with hemodynamically significant PDA after medical treatment failure. Immediate improvement in the respiratory condition has been reported after transcatheter closure. However, the short‐term pulmonary outcome has not been clarified yet. Methods This retrospective study investigated infants born with a body weight
