Abstract

Data on the natural history of infants discharged with patent ductus arteriosus is sparse. We report on the 36-months follow-up after hospitalization in 68 infants discharged with an open ductus arteriosus. Notwithstanding a high spontaneous closure rate, catheter intervention in 5 infants illustrates a critical need for cardiologic follow-up.
