Abstract:ObjectiveTo evaluate the value of echocardiographic parameters in predicting early spontaneous closure of ductus arteriosus in premature infants.Methods222 premature infants admitted to the neonatal ward of our hospital were selected, and patent ductus arteriosus was detected by echocardiography 48 h after birth. On the 7th day, whether the ductus arteriosus was closed naturally in this cohort was observed. The infants whose ductus arteriosus were not closed were identified as the PDA group (n = 109), and the … Show more
Intravascular imaging methods are an actively developing area that was originally used in the treatment of coronary artery disease. With the help of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), there is an opportunity to more objectively, in contrast to fluoroscopy, evaluate the vascular anatomy and lesion morphology, as well as optimize transcatheter interventions. In recent years, intravascular imaging has become widespread in the evaluation of children with congenital heart defects. A review of the literature on IVUS in endovascular treatment of congenital heart defects is presented and cases of the IVUS use in children with patent ductus arteriosus, descending aortic stenosis after interrupted aortic arch repair and pulmonary stenosis are presented.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
