Is neonatal ductus arteriosus a major surgery?

Arterial ductus arteriosus in newborns is not a major surgery and is usually treated by minimally invasive methods. Newborns 10-15 hours after birth arterial conduit began to functionally close, the arterial conduit after birth did not close but continued to open the state, for the arterial conduit is not closed, 2-12 months after birth most of them will be closed on their own, 1 year after the age of no occlusion is also neonatal arterial conduit is not closed. Neonatal arterial ductus arteriosus at the age of 1-5 years can be surgically treated, usually minimally invasive interventional occlusion treatment, this operation risk is small, the clinical technology is more mature, is not considered a major surgery. Neonatal arterial ductus arteriosus is not a major surgery, but the operation also has a certain degree of risk, we must do a good job in the preoperative preparation, intraoperative symptomatic treatment to reduce the risk of going to a regular hospital for the operation, to increase the success rate of the operation. Neonatal arterial ductus arteriosus should be detected in time and choose the right time to intervene.
