Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I've been feeling discomfort in my heart. Although I take medication to control it, the effect is not obvious. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they also prescribed medication. Can a congenital patent ductus arteriosus still close?Doctor's answer:
Because the blood flow pressure at the arterial duct is relatively high, if it is not closed at birth, the chance of spontaneous closure later is very small. Generally, this condition can be treated when the child is six months old. A simple suture is sufficient, and the surgery cost is around 10,000 yuan. This disease tends to be associated with pulmonary hypertension, so it is recommended to seek treatment early.This is the advice for the question "Can congenital patent ductus arteriosus still close?" Hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
