“…The ages of our subjects ranged between 2 and 71 (39.9±18.1) days and were compatible with late-term operation according to the criteria accepted in the references. While some studies defended that there was no relation between timing of surgical operation and clinical course, in other studies better results were obtained with the first early intervention in cases where indication was acceptable (1,3,8). Although four of five subjects who were weaned from mechanic ventilation in the first three days in our study group were 25 days old or younger, no statistically significant relation was found with the subjects who were operated in a later period.…”

“…Early closure of symptomatic PDA decreases development of chronic lung disease, mechanical ventilation times, nutritional deficiency , frequency of NEC and ICB (7,8). In contrast to the defenders of early closure of symptomatic PDA, there are also studies reporting that early closure does not affect clinical outcomes (9,10).…”

“…12,13 A number of studies have suggested early ligation to be beneficial with decreased rates of NEC 14 and improvements in growth. 15 The recent articles by Chorne et al 16 and Kabra et al 17 highlight associations between PDA ligation and increased risk of bronchopulmonary dysplasia, severe retinopathy of prematurity and neurosensory impairment. Whether PDA ligation is causal or is merely a surrogate marker of a biological state with an increased risk of chronic lung disease remains unknown.…”

“…21 The second concern with the watchful waiting approach is the delay in initiation of feeding and reaching full enteral feeds. 45 Although clear evidence is absent, because of the increased risk for NEC, many neonatologists do not start enteral feeds in the presence of a significant PDA. Finally, the longer one waits, the less effective the COX inhibitor becomes at closing the ductus arteriosus.…”
