Patent Ductus Arteriosus [PDF]
Circulation, 2006 The patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is a vascular structure that connects the proximal descending aorta to the roof of the main pulmonary artery near the origin of the left branch pulmonary artery. This essential fetal structure normally closes spontaneously after birth. After the first few weeks of life, persistence of ductal patency is abnormal.

Isolated Dissection of the Ductus Arteriosus Associated with Sudden Unexpected Intrauterine Death
Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2021 We report five cases of sudden intrauterine death due to premature closure of the ductus arteriosus. In four cases, this was caused by dissecting the hematoma of the ductus arteriosus with intimal flap and obliteration of the lumen.
