Background: Pseudoaneurysms that develop after surgical repair of a patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) are more likely to rupture, but open surgery including a repeat thoracotomy would be highly invasive. We report 2 cases of thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for such pseudoaneurysms. Methods/Results: A 59-year-old woman who underwent PDA surgical ligation at 13 years of age presented with sudden hemoptysis. She was diagnosed with a ruptured distorted pseudoaneurysm sized 26 mm; emergency TEVAR was performed. A 23-year-old woman with a history of Down syndrome, endocardial cushion defect, and PDA underwent 2 thoracotomy surgeries including PDA ligation. During a medical checkup, an abnormal shadow was detected on chest radiography. She was diagnosed with a 15-mm pseudoaneurysm after PDA surgical repair; TEVAR was performed. In both cases, the postoperative course was uneventful. Conclusions: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of emergency TEVAR for ruptured pseudoaneurysms after PDA ligation. Thoracic endovascular aortic repair is an important therapeutic option for such cases as it eliminates the need for repeat thoracotomy.

Two premature infants who had surgical ligation of their patent ductus arteriosus are described. These infants initially did well postoperatively but then developed congestive heart failure. Both infants had echocardiographic evidence of recurrence of their patent ductus arteriosus. One of the infants required a repeat ligation procedure. It is important to continue to monitor premature infants for the return of clinical signs of a patent ductus arteriosus after surgical ligation.

Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) has become very common in modern nurseries in recent years. The favorite methods of managing it are either doing nothing, giving indomethacin, or surgical closure. The initial enthusiasm for the use of indomethacin to induce closure is now being tempered as a result of experience. Early surgical ligation of PDA, especially that complicating respiratory distress syndrome, is considered too aggressive for extremely small preterm infants, and for the management of infants having congestive heart failure.
