The occurrence of PDA is inversely related to gestational age and weight, with an even greater incidence in preterm infants. The clinical implications vary depending on the anatomy of the ductus arteriosus and the underlying cardiovascular status of the patient. Medical therapy for PDA predominantly involves the administration of one of two non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs: indomethacin or ibuprofen. In the last decade, acetaminophen has emerged as therapy for PDA closure. We are joined LIVE on MEDFLIX by renowned Senior Consultant & Director (Cardiology), Dr. Hemant Madan, who will provide us with information on the medical management of PDA and discuss the efficacy of Dual Oral Medication Therapy (ibuprofen and acetaminophen) in the same.
