Abstract:
The patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) refers to the persistence of a connection between the descending aorta distal to the left subclavian artery and the pulmonary trunk beyond fetal life. Adult congenital heart disease is a rare condition, with asymptomatic cases being particularly uncommon. The following report presents the case of a young adult male, aged 23, who was discovered to possess a patent ductus arteriosus in an incidental manner. The patient presented with an acute chest complaint and was found to be asymptomatic upon examination at the hospital. Based on the preliminary medical information provided, a tentative diagnosis of a ventricular septal defect was established. However, a comprehensive echocardiographic examination revealed the presence of a patent ductus arteriosus (PDA).
摘要:
动脉导管未闭(PDA)是指左锁骨下动脉远端降主动脉与肺动脉干之间的连接持续存在。成人先天性心脏病是一种罕见的疾病,无症状病例尤其罕见。以下报告介绍了一名年轻成年男性的案例,23岁,被发现偶然拥有动脉导管未闭。患者出现急性胸部不适,在医院检查时无症状。根据提供的初步医疗信息,建立了室间隔缺损的初步诊断。然而,全面的超声心动图检查显示存在动脉导管未闭(PDA)。
