Circulatory Insufficiency and Hypotension Related to the Ductus Arteriosus in Neonates
The biological role of the ductus arteriosus (DA) in neonates varies from an innocent bystander role during normal postnatal transition, to a supportive role when there is compromise to either systemic or pulmonary blood flow, to a pathological state in ...
