Abstract In neonates and infants, the trachea and main bronchus may be compressed by adjacent cardiovascular structures. Compression of the main bronchi by the patent ductus arteriosus is rare and causes a variety of respiratory problems. Surgical closure of the patent ductus arteriosus that compresses the main bronchus as soon as possible is an effective treatment option. Rapid clinical recovery is expected after surgical closure of the patent ductus arteriosus. We present a case of patent ductus arteriosus which caused obstruction of the left main bronchus.

Wheezing is often occurred in infants and young children with respiratory infections. For children with recurrent wheezing, after controlling their wheezing, they should be alert to rare diseases. Here, We report a case of wheezing following the application of the patent ductus arteriosus occlusion device ADOII (AGA Medical Corporation, Golden Valley,MN) with the occlusion device pressing against the inner diameter of the adjacent left main bronchus. After the pressure end of the occluder was removed, the child’s wheezing was effectively relieved
