Post-Patent Ductus Arteriosus ligation syndrome with hypertension and masking of renal artery stenosis in an infant
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 07 February 2018
Abstract
Post-patent ductus arteriosus ligation syndrome is common, but rarely has hypertension been described following ductal ligation with an unclear mechanism. We report a case of an infant who exhibited features of post-patent ductus arteriosus ligation syndrome and hypertension, but was found to have bilateral renal artery stenosis. Increased systemic vascular resistance can be masked by the parallel circuit physiology of a patent ductus arteriosus.
