Clinical Trials

Management of the Patent Ductus Arteriosus in Premature Infants Trial (PDA Trial)

Lead Researcher: Carl T D'angio

Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is an extra blood vessel found in babies before birth and just after birth. In most babies who have an otherwise normal heart, the PDA will shrink and close on its own in the first few days of life. If it stays open longer, it may cause extra blood to flow to the lungs. This study estimates the risks and benefits of active treatment versus expectant management of premature babies with patent ductus arteriosus.
