The occurrence of a congenital vascular tract between the left posterior aortic sinus of Valsalva and the right ventricle in a 13 month old boy is reported. A group of cardiovascular anomalies which clinically resemble a patent ductus arteriosus is discussed, and the help which cardiac catheterization may give in confirming the diagnosis is indicated.

The purpose of this swdy is to compare intra-atrial conduction (atrio-ventricular conduction and intraventricular conduction) in children with secundum atrial deptal defect (ASD II) and patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) using His bundle electrocardiogram (HBE).Six patienls with ASD II and seven with PDA, aged ranging from 3 to 11 years were included in the study. The diagnoses of all cases were confirmed by cardiac catheterization. The results of HBE studies showed that the PA, AH, HV, interval in ASD II were 31.7 ± 7.6 msec; 65.8 ± 16.8 msec; 42.5 ± 2.2 msec; and in eDA were 25 ± 7.8 msec; 77.9 ± 9.4 msec; 40 ± 3.8 I11sec respectively. The differences were statistically not significant (P > 0.05).The data showed that intra-atrial conduction in children with ASD II was not longer than that in PDA and also there was no difference in atrioventricular conduction and intraventricular conduction, although childrell with ASD II usually have abnormal ECG, like right bundle branch block.

A large patent ductus arteriosus can produce obvious cardiac difficulty and death in infancy. The diagnosis of a patent ductus arteriosus in infancy can be difficult in the absence of a continuous murmur. In such instances special studies such as cardiac catheterization or retrograde aortography should be performed to establish the diagnosis. Surgical closure of the patent ductus arteriosus can and should be performed in those infants with symptoms and findings of cardiac difficulty—dyspnea, cardiomegaly, murmur, and marked growth failure. Data have been presented on 16 infants with patent ductus arteriosus in whom surgical closure of the patent ductus arteriosus was deemed necessary before 18 months of age. Of the 16 infants, one died during surgery (6% mortality rate) and the remaining showed marked improvement following surgery. Postoperative rate of growth was variable in patients followed one year or less, consistently improved in those followed 1½ years or more.

Closure of a haemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus is recommended. Most cases of patent ductus arteriosus can be closed by a range of devices at cardiac catheterization. The outlook after successful closure is excellent and so follow-up is not required for the majority.
