Examples of ductal

• Four patients had been born prematurely and had ductal ligation soon after birth.

• The consequences of any delay in spontaneous ductal closure must be closely monitored.

• They were evaluated for residual ductal murmur, residual ductal shunt and presence of puhnonaryaonic obstruction.

• The following morning, auscultation again documented a rumbling continuous murmur, and ultrasound confirmed the presence of a moderately sized patent duct with significant ductal flow.

• In transposition and total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage, maintaining ductal patency is not usually of much benefit.

• The book then goes on to describe the various abnormalities of the fetal heart, genetic disorders and aortic arch and ductal abnormalities.

• Since the umbrella can easily be dislodged immediately after initial implantation, immediate closure of residual ductal patency must not be attempted.

• The 12 mm ductal umbrella was released without complication.

• Again, if the distribution of the non-masslike enhancement is suspicious, for example, focal nodular clumped, ductal or linear, biopsy would be prudent.

• We suggest that the cross-sectional echocardiographic findings we describe show extension of ductal tissue with associated intimal cushions into the pulmonary artery.

• Improvement in the technique of transcatheter ductal closure,' ' and careful selection of suitable patients for transcatheter closure,12 will reduce the incidence of residual patency.

• The second coil was, therefore, implanted retrogradely with the catheter remaining in the ductal ampulla.

• The duct was completely occluded by laminated thrombus but there was no evidence of ductal constriction.

• Atypical cells can be found both within papillomas and in adjacent tissues, as areas of atypical ductal hyperplasia.

• The detection of residual ductal shunting after surgical ligation of a patent duct has also in the past largely been based on auscultation.
