Congenital aneurysm of the ductus arteriosus in neonates; should we be afraid?
With increased awareness and earlier and more frequent application of echocardiography in newborns, the diagnosis of ductus arteriosus aneurysm is being reported more frequently. The most common scenario is spontaneous regression, however, it should not be forgotten that it can lead to serious complications, as reported previously. In selected cases, surgical treatment may be an option to prevent more serious or late complications, though the indications for surgical intervention remain unclear.
